CRP and Obesity: Because some cross-sectional studies reported that CRP correlate with obesity, high triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and abnormal glucose metabolism, the relationship between CRP and metabolic syndrome has received attention in recent years.11-15 In some other studies, CRP was a predictor of future metabolic syndrome.16-19 Ridker et al20 indicated that the interrelationship between hsCRP and metabolic syndrome strongly predicts CHD and CVD death.
