<![CDATA[Background: Obesity comes with a huge number of co-morbidities such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)and cardiovascular diseases. The most usually used factor for segregating different degree of adiposity isBody Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Circumference (WC).Despite being a convenient and commonly usedmethod it doesn’t show the occurrence of essential obesity-related co-morbidity & deplete quality of life.Hence, Edmonton’s Obesity Staging System has been proposed which incorporates such co-morbidities andfunctional status of individual. Serum levels of high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) can be calculated using highlysensitive assays and has ability to detect augmented inflammation in vasculature. Thus, chronic systemicinflammation linked to the metabolic syndromes. The Study aims to correlate such factors.Aims: To estimate hsCRP levels in obese population.Material and Method: After thorough anthropometric and biochemical evaluation obese individuals willbe classified accordingly into Edmonton’s obesity staging system and their hs-CRP will be evaluated andthen correlation between two will be done.Result: A linear correlation between hs-CRP and Edmonton’s Obesity Staging System is expected.Conclusion: With the help of correlation between hs-CRP and EOSS co-morbidities of obese individualscan be tracked efficiently]]>
