Context Human adipose tissue expresses and releases the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 6, potentially inducing low-grade systemic inflammation in persons with excess body fat.Objective To test whether overweight and obesity are associated with low-grade systemic inflammation as measured by serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level.Design and Setting The Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, representative of the US population from 1988 to 1994,Participants A total of 16 616 men and nonpregnant women aged 17 years or olderMain Outcome Measures Elevated CRP level of 0.22 mg/dL or more and a more stringent clinically raised CRP level of more than 1.00 mg/dL.Results Elevated CRP levels and clinically raised CRP levels were present in 27.6% and 6.7% of the population, respectively. Both overweight (body mass index [BMI], 25-29.9 kg/m(2)) and obese (BMI, greater than or equal to 30 kg/m(2)) persons were more likely to have elevated CRP levels than their normal-weight counterparts (BMI,
