CRP and IL-6 baseline levels in obese and non-obese subjects

Mean CRP
(μg/ml)		 STD P-value Mean IL-6
(ng/ml)		 STD P-value
BMI < 30 kg/m2 (n = 1846)* 4.32 8.0 3.28 3.4
BMI ≥30 kg/m2 (n = 869)* 4.93 6.6 0.049 3.22 2.7 0.632
BMI ≥35 kg/m2 (n = 236)* 5.72 7.1 0.007 3.42 2.6 0.397

P-value was determined by Student’s T-test. * For some samples, data on the level of inflammatory markers were not available (n = 54). Samples with a white blood cell count above 10,000/mm3 were excluded (n = 110)
