Abstract

This study has demonstrated that increase in central or visceral adiposity, plasma total cholesterol, triglycerides, ApoB; and decreases in plasma HDL-cholesterol and ApoA1, can invoke vascular inflammation which can be detected early by rising concentration of hs-CRP even in young individuals yet to develop CVD.
