ΔMMSE distribution in those with high (≥5.0 mg/L) and normal (<5.0 mg/L) CRP levels. Mean ΔMMSE (CRP ≥ 5.0 mg/L) = −1.19, 𝑃: 0.003, and that adjusted for covariates: −1.13, 𝑃: 0.031 (not shown). Mean ΔMMSE (CRP < 5.0 mg/L) = +0.52, 𝑃: 0.003, and that adjusted for covariates: +0.30, 𝑃: 0.031 (not shown). CRP: C-reactive protein; MMSE: Mini Mental Status Examination.
