Energy Restriction and Weight Loss on Very-Low-Fat Diets Reduce C-Reactive Protein Concentrations in Obese, Healthy Women
Abstract
Abstract —C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory-response protein that is a strong, independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality. CRP is positively associated with body mass index (BMI). In this study, we investigated the effects of dynamic weight loss on CRP in 83 healthy, obese women (mean BMI, 33.8±0.4 kg/m 2 ; range, 28.2 to 43.8 kg/m 2 ). Subjects were placed on very-low-fat, energy-restricted diets (5700 kJ, 15% fat) for 12 weeks. Weight, waist and hip circumferences, plasma lipids, glucose, and CRP were measured at baseline and after 12 weeks. CRP was positively associated with BMI ( r =0.281, P =0.01) and waist circumference ( r =0.278, P =0.01) but was not related to other atherosclerosis risk factors. BMI was significantly different between groups split above or below the median for CRP (34.8±0.6 kg/m 2 vs 33.0±0.5 kg/m 2 , P =0.02). After 12 weeks, weight loss was 7.9±0.3 kg. CRP was significantly decreased by 26% ( P <0.001), and a correlation was observed between weight loss and the change in CRP ( r =0.309, P =0.005). The variance in the change in CRP was partly explained by initial CRP (13.6%), energy intake (5.4%), and percentage weight loss (4.6%, P =0.001). This study confirms recent observations that BMI is associated with CRP, a marker for low-grade systemic inflammation. Furthermore, we observed that CRP was lowered in proportion to weight loss.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
