View larger version (13K): [in a new window]   Figure 1 Box plots illustrating the distribution of levels of C-reactive protein for women with calcium scores in three groups (0 to 10 = "none"; 11 to 50 = "minimal"; >50 = "significant"). Each box spans the 25th through 75th percentile; and the median is shown as a horizontal line.
