Change in hsCRP (logarithm transformed) from age 24 to age 26 and from age 25 to 26.

Dependent variable	Significant explanatory variable	sign	Partial 𝑅^2	𝑃
Change in hsCRP from age 24 to age 26 (139 observations used)	Change in TC	+	12.3%	<.0001
	Change in BMI	+	6.6%	.0012
Change in hsCRP from age 25 to age 26 (223 observations used)	Change in BMI	+	8.5%	.0001
