The results showed that regardless of gender, subjects who had higher tertiles (T2 and T3) of the western dietary pattern, overweight or obesity, high body fat, high waist or hip circumference, high waist-to-hip ratio, high systolic or diastolic BP, low HDL-C, high LDL-C, high TC, high TG, or high FBG had significantly increased odds ratios of high CRP (≥ 28.6 nmol/L) in both models (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
