Compared with normal weight, overweight (Model 4: B = 0.143, SE = 0.027, 95% CI: 0.089, 0.196), obesity (Model 4: B = 0.318, SE = 0.031, 95% CI: 0.256, 0.379), and excess body weight (denoted by the combined weight group: overweight + obesity, Model 4: B = 0.201, SE = 0.026, 95% CI: 0.150, 0.252) were associated with higher CRP, even after controlling for baseline CRP, sociodemographic variables, behavioural factors, and chronic conditions. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is obesity disorder.
