Article Synopsis
- Childhood obesity is a significant public health issue, and this study explores how children's diets impact their risk of obesity and the role of C-reactive protein (CRP) in this relationship.
- The study analyzed dietary data from 2,413 children, identifying three dietary patterns, with the rice and meat pattern linked to increased risk of both general and central obesity, while higher CRP levels also correlated with obesity risk.
