Figure 1 Adjusted geometric mean values of C-reactive protein (CRP) and 95% confidence intervals according to fitness quartiles and components of the metabolic syndrome. Levels of CRP were adjusted for age, gender, smoking status, presence of coronary disease, and use of HRT, aspirin, and statins, using analysis of co-variance. Solid circles = zero components; open circles = one or two components; solid squares = three or more components.
