Obesity as a risk factor for hypertension has become a globally recognized fact, and in this study, BMI was higher in the group with elevated CRP than in the normal group, and although the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05), studies have shown that pro-inflammatory proteins such as interleukin 6 (IL-6), which is broken down by adipose tissue in obese individuals, can increase CRP levels in the liver [28]. This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and Obesity.
