"Life Extension has reviewed thousands of C-reactive protein blood test results over the years. Our consistent observation is that overweight and obese individuals have stubbornly elevated C-reactive protein levels.18 Our findings were confirmed in a recent study that showed overweight and obese individuals are far more likely to have elevated C-reactive protein. In fact, obese people are three times more likely to have elevated C-reactive protein levels than normal-weight individuals." http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2010/sep ... ase_01.htm is an article at the Life Extension Foundation.
