Table 2

Beta coefficients (SEE) for the association of energy-adjusted glycemic index (GI) or glycemic load (GL) with ln-C-reactive protein (CRP) in Dutch adults aged ≥55 years.

Values are beta-coefficients with SEE.
Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, smoking, and family history of diabetes.
Model 2: as model 1 with additional adjustments for intake of energy, protein, saturated fat, alcohol, and fiber.
Model 3: as model 2 with additional adjustment for BMI.
