  1. *,**,*** indicate significance at p < 0.05, <0.01, <0.001, respectively. BMI: body mass index; CRP: C-reactive protein; EMP: endothelial microparticles; IBD: inflammatory bowel disease; IL-1β: interleukin-1β; IL-6: interleukin-6; IL-10: interleukin-10; MIF: macrophage migration inhibitory factor; RA: rheumatoid arthritis; SBP: systolic blood pressure; TG: triglycerides; TNF-α: tumour necrosis factor-α; vWF: von Willebrand factor. Statistically significant correlations are shown with bold typeface.
