Longitudinal association of adiposity and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein from adolescence into early adulthood

Background and aims Longitudinal studies relating adiposity with low-grade inflammation are scarce. We aimed to examine the longitudinal association between the cumulative exposure to adiposity and low–grade inflammation from adolescence into early adulthood. Methods and results Data from a population-based cohort (EPITeen) (n = 1147) was analyzed. Body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BF%), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height...
