In age-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models, there were trends toward increased incident HFpEF risk at higher quartiles of CRP (HR 2.28 for third vs first quartile; 95% CI: 0.93–5.61) and IL-6 (HR 1.54 for first vs fourth quartile; 95% CI: 0.67–3.53), although these did not reach statistical significance possibly due to the small number of HFpEF cases (n = 46).
