Associations with CRP concentrations in the Ghanaian study sample.

<p>Results are from linear regression models. Per cent change in expected geometric mean CRP (mg/L) per unit increase in the independent variable is equivalent to the absolute value of (1-e^β)*100. Significant values are indicated by 95% confidence intervals that do not include 0.</p><p>The fully adjusted linear regression model included all listed independent variables (malaria load was not included in the analyses of malaria infection and vice versa).</p>†<p>The poorest half of the population vs. the wealthiest half of the population as estimated by the DHS wealth index.</p>‡<p>Unsafe water source (open well or river) vs. safe water source (borehole);</p>*<p>Infection positivity determined by PCR.</p>**<p>Load was determined by number of PCR cycles and evaluated in quartiles with the lowest quartile as reference level.</p><p>Z-scores of LPS- and zymosan-stimulated levels;</p>▪<p>p-value for trend.
