Flow diagram illustrating the selection of subjects for analysis. hs-CRP levels <3 mg/L reflect a low systemic inflammatory status and lower to moderate vascular risk; whereas, levels ≥3 mg/L indicate high systemic inflammatory status and higher vascular risk. Constitution type was categorized into two groups: TE (Tae-eumin) or non-TE (So-eumin and So-yangin).
