Which C-Reactive Protein (high-sensitivity) level corresponds to Wellness on the SWF continuum?

• A. Less than 1
• B. 1-3
• C. Greater than 3
• D. Exactly 2

Answer: (B)

hs-CRP is a marker of low-grade systemic inflammation, and within the SWF wellness framework it helps categorize your overall inflammatory status as it relates to health and recovery. The typical interpretation of hs-CRP values is that under 1 mg/L indicates a very low level of inflammation, 1–3 mg/L reflects a normal to moderate, wellness-friendly range, and above 3 mg/L points to higher inflammation that can hinder recovery and performance. Therefore the 1–3 mg/L range best matches the Wellness category on the SWF continuum. A value below 1 mg/L is still healthy but represents a lower inflammatory baseline, while a value above 3 mg/L signals elevated inflammation. The exact value of 2 mg/L would also fit Wellness, but the question is about the range, so 1–3 mg/L is the correct broad category.
