The Association between obesity indices (body mass index [BMI], waist circumference [WC], and percentage body fat [%BF]), leptin, and inflammatory markers (C‐reactive protein [CRP], interleukin‐6 [IL‐6] and tumor‐necrosis factor‐α [TNF‐α]) was investigated using multinomial logistic regression analysis, accounting for ordinal outcome variables with four categories; 1st–4th quartile. The gene discussed is LEP; the disease is obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
