The risk of mild chronic inflammation (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP > 1 mg/dL)) in obese youth was 2.6 times greater than in the appropriate weight (AW) group (odds ratio 2.6; confidence interval 1.27?.54; p = 0.001), only this risk was significant; hsCRP correlated with fat percentage (r = 0.51 p = 0.001). The obese with MetS (OBMS) group had higher BMI, WC, blood glucose, insulin, HOMANutrients 2016, 8,5 ofand TG and lower HDL-C compared to the other two groups (p = 0.001). A total of 97.3 of the OBMS group AKB-6548 biological activity simultaneously had high TG and low HDL-C, according to the criteria used in the diagnosis of MetS in this study. Of the OBMS, 53.1 simultaneously had high WC and HOMA; both variables were correlated (Rho = 0.71; p < 0.001) (Table 2).Table 2.
