Increased Oxidative Stress and Inflammation Independent of Body Adiposity in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Controls in falciparum Malaria

Table 3

Logistic regression analysis with malaria as the dependent variable and changes in CRP, TAP, and peroxides as predictors after adjusting for diabetes, age, and other baseline indices.

Parameter		SE	Wald	value	Exp()
CRP	1.62	0.759	4.563	0.02	0.35
TAP	1.378	0.621	4.911	0.039	0.471
Peroxide	1.23	0.656	3.513	0.041	0.346
BMI	0.194	0.189	1.054	0.79	0.354
WHR	0.003	0.039	0.004	0.86	0.071
BAI	0.002	0.038	0.006	0.92	0.053
WC	0.003	0.080	0.001	0.99	0.23
Constant		0.238	9.910	0.002	0.473

CRP = C-reactive protein; TAP = total antioxidants power; = significant value; BAI = body adiposity index; BMI = body mass index; WC = waist circumference; SE = standard error.
