Fig 1.
Boxplot of the levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (A) and log for Interleukin 6 (B) and 4 (C) in patients with and without sarcopenia.
Box-plots are used to present inflammatory marker distributions between groups. Box corners represent the first (lower corner) and third (upper corner) quartiles, and median represented by the line inside boxes. Whiskers represent lower and upper theoretical limits. hsCRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; LogIL: log of interleukin. p < 0.05.
Fig 2.
Scatter plot between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (A and B) and log for interleukin 4 (C and D) and clinical variables.
Spearman’s correlation coefficient, p < 0.05. BMI: body mass index; hsCRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; LogIL: log of interleukin.
