Population
30 young adults divided by BMI into eutrophic (n=10), overweight (n=10), and obese (n=10) groups
Design
Cross-sectional
Key result
Obesity in young adults was associated with higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines and lower adiponectin compared to eutrophic controls.

Does not warrant practice change; hypothesis-generating for cytokine-adipokine links in early obesity.
Cross-Sectional (n=30)
Obesity is associated with an altered lipid and glycemic profile and a shift towards a proinflammatory state characterized by increased proinflammatory cytokines and decreased anti-inflammatory adipokines.
Borges et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Obesity (n=30). Obesity vs. Eutrophic (normal weight) was evaluated on Correlation between biochemical parameters, serum proinflammatory cytokines and adipokines. Obesity in young adults was associated with higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines and lower adiponectin compared to eutrophic controls.
