Abstract

Obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation characterized by increased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines from adipose tissue, which may stimulate hepatic synthesis of C-Reactive Protein (CRP). Elevated CRP levels are widely recognized as biomarkers of systemic inflammation and may indicate increased risk for metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. This study aimed to evaluate CRP levels among obese students at Akademi Kesehatan John Paul II Pekanbaru. This study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design involving obese students with Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥27 kg/m² selected using purposive sampling. Serum samples were collected and analyzed for CRP levels using qualitative latex agglutination and semi-quantitative methods. A total of 19 serum samples met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. The results showed that 12 respondents (63.2%) had normal CRP levels (
