背景资料：C反应蛋白（CRP）浓度在美国儿童和年轻人中的分布目前尚不清楚。方法：我们使用了3348名美国儿童和3-19岁的年轻人的数据，他们参加了1999-2000年的国家健康和营养检查调查，以描述CRP浓度的分布，结果：CRP浓度范围为0.1- 90.8mg/L，平均值为1.6mg/L，几何平均值为0.5mg/L，中位数为0.4mg/L。CRP浓度随年龄增长而增加。16-19岁女性的浓度高于该年龄范围内的男性（P = 0.003）。在三个主要种族或民族中，墨西哥裔美国人的CRP浓度最高（P
Background: The distribution of C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations among children and young adults in the US is not known at present.Methods: We used data from 3348 US children and young adults 3-19 years of age who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2000, to describe the distribution of CRP concentrations, based on results obtained with a high-sensitivity latex-enhanced turbidimetric assay.Results: The range of CRP concentrations was 0.1-90.8 mg/L (mean, 1.6 mg/L; geometric mean, 0.5 mg/L; median, 0.4 mg/L). CRP concentrations increased with age. Females 16-19 years of age had higher concentrations than males in this age range (P = 0.003). Mexican Americans had the highest CRP concentrations among the three major race or ethnic groups (P
