Obesity, dyslipidemia, and high blood pressure are associated with cardiovascular risk, determined using high-sensitivity C-reactive protein concentration, in young adults

This 2020 observational study published in the Journal of International Medical Research (PMID: 33342336) analyzed 300 young adults in southern Mexico to examine the relationship between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and cardiometabolic risk factors. It found that elevated hs-CRP (>28.57 nmol/L) was strongly associated with obesity (OR = 13.9), high
