CRP and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency: [85] Moreover, elevated CRP levels are associated with obesity in children, [60], [61], [62], [63] which has also been linked to both individual/family and neighborhood SES. [86], [87], [88], [89] A particular strength of this study is its ability to focus on the effect of interest, i.e., the proposed pathway whereby the neighborhood environment promotes chronic stress and elevated CRP levels, as analyses were adjusted for a direct measure of adiposity and other confounding relationships.
