Structured PICO

Population

Swiss population-based sample (CoLaus Study)

Outcome

Association between obesity markers (%Body fat, BMI, waist circumference) and inflammatory markers (cytokine levels, IL-1β, TNF-α, hs-CRP)surrogate

Different obesity markers show distinct patterns of association with inflammatory cytokines, with all markers positively associated with hs-CRP.

Abstract

Obesity markers are differentially associated with cytokine levels. %Body fat is negatively associated with IL-1β; BMI (in women) and waist circumference (in men) are associated with TNF-α; all obesity markers are positively associated with hs-CRP.
