Table 7 Multiple regression analyses (stepwise); predicting lnCRP levels (lowest value obtained from 2 or 3 blood withdrawal days) entering body mass index (BMI), age, smoking, alcohol use and the insulin resistance parameters (insulin, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C triglycerides, t-PA antigen, t-PA activity, PAI-1 antigen) into the regression. Results are given for men, no-oral contraceptives (OC) using women, and oral contraceptives using women, separately.
