As a result, differences were found in plasma routine biochemical parameters such as those related to glycemia (glucose and HbA1c), lipemia (TAG, VLDL-C) and inflammation (CRP) between participants with normal and above-normal fat percentage, which supports the need to include the categorical variable of fat status (based in excessive body fat percentage relative to normal values) as a potential confounding factor in this type of studies. Here, CRP is linked to hyperlipidemia.
