OBJECTIVE: Inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) are related to obesity
in adults, but the association is less clear in children. Our objective was to examine

increased. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of children in the United
States aged 1 to 17 years in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999 …
