1 The definition of obesity is as follows: BMI (kg/m2) ≥ 27. The definition of high inflammation is as follows: hsCRP (mg/L) of > 3. 2 Data were presented in number (n) and percent (%) and analyzed by chi-square tests. When cells had expected count less than five, data were analyzed by Fisher’s exact test. Statistically significant at p < 0.05.
