Structured PICO

Population

50 adults across a broad range of obesity, including 9 nonobese (BMI <30 kg/m2) and 41 obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2, of which 11 were grade I/II and 30 were morbidly obese).

Comparator

Nonobese subjects (BMI <30 kg/m2)

Outcome

Correlation of serum inflammatory markers (TNF, sTNF-RII, IL-6, CRP) with body mass index (BMI)surrogate

Serum levels of IL-6 and CRP correlate with BMI across a broad range of obesity, supporting the concept of obesity as a systemic inflammatory state.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Should not change practice; supports obesity as inflammatory state yet leaves causal direction open.
