To study the effect of weight-reduction diet (WRD) on serum high sensitivity
C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level in obese-adult subjects admitted to
Riyadh Armed Forces Hospital, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Fifty three
subjects with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg m-2 were included
in the study. They were placed on energy-restricted diet for 12 weeks.
Diet history and food-frequency questionnaire were filled before starting
the WRD. Anthropometric measurements [weight, height, BMI and waist circumference
(WC)] were taken and blood samples were collected to analyze hs-CRP, total
cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and low-density
lipoprotein-cholesterol before and at the end of the WRD. There is a significant
reduction in BMI and WC after applying the WRD program. In addition, hs-CRP
level, triglyceride and total cholesterol were significantly reduced after
applying the WRD. A significant positive correlation was noted between
serum hs-CRP level and measures of adiposity, such as BMI and WC. hs-CRP
level is influenced by WC and by BMI in obese-adult subjects and that
the WRD decreases serum level of hs-CRP. |
