Measures of Adiposity Differentially Correlate with C-Reactive Protein Among Persons with Multiple Sclerosis

Conclusions: The differential relationships observed between the MS and control groups suggests that whole body fat may be a more important factor related to whole body inflammation in MS, rather than other adiposity markers, such as BMI or trunk fat. This differential association should be taken into account in future research examining body fatness/obesity and CRP.
