| Factors | Included variables with loadings | Factor variability |
|---|---|---|
| Obesity-inflammation related factor | WC (0.912) hsCRP (0.780) |
38% |
| Iron homeostasis related factor | Transferrin (0.875) sTfR (0.728) |
17% |
| Adipokine-acute phase protein related factor | RBP4 (0.711) Ferritin (0.610) |
