Fig. 2From: Sex differences in the impact of the Mediterranean diet on systemic inflammationhs-CRP concentrations observed in men (a) and women (b) at baseline and after the 4-week Mediterranean diet according to their hs-CRP baseline value. MIXED procedures for repeated measurements followed by Tukey-Kramer tests were used. *A group-by-time interaction was found in men (P = 0.02) but not in women (P = 0.11). Men with hs-CRP < 2 mg/l, n = 27; men with hs-CRP ≥ 2 mg/l, n = 8; women with hs-CRP < 2 mg/l, n = 12; women with hs-CRP ≥ 2 mg/l, n = 15. Data are means ± SEMBack to article page
