One caveat is that moderate and extreme exercise or regular training can increase hs-crp by 2.5-20x for 1-2 days so one should stop exercise before taking this test. My hs-CRP was 2.2 while riding a bike 4-5 hrs/day every day, so I have to redo this during a hiatus. But very good work Michael. https://www.jacc.org/doi/full/10.1016/j.jacc.2004.12.077

Nice job, Mike. My latest hsCRP is .5. Age 73. Most CR Way members are in that range.

Thanks Paul. I assume it’s 0.5 mg/L? If so, 0.5 is pretty good, but there’s data in the video that suggests even lower may be optimal…
