Statistically significant differences between obese and normal-weight participants (P < 0.05 is significant);
The comparisons were done using independent Student’s t-test; Results are presented as mean ± standard deviation; BMI: Body mass index; WC: Waist circumstance; HC: Hip circumstance; WHR: Waist to hip ratio; Hs-CRP: High sensitive C-reactive protein
