  1. hs-CRP high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, SBP systolic blood pressure, HT hormone therapy, MS metabolic syndrome, WC waist circumference, HOMA-IR homeostatic model assessment, IL6 interleukin 6, PR prevalence ratio, CI confidence interval
  2. Model 1: PR for each variable
  3. Model 2: multivariable Poisson regression including all the variables that were significant in the univariable analysis. Only the polymorphism and waist circumference remained significant in the final model
