The objective of the present study was to determine the respective contributions of visceral adipose tissue (AT) accumulation and cardiorespiratory fitness to variation of inflammatory markers in men and women. Circulating levels of C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, and adiponectin were obtained with visceral AT (computed tomography) and fitness (physical working capacity test) levels in a sample of healthy men (n = 120) and women (n = 152) covering a wide range of adiposity. An inflammation score was developed based on gender-specific percentile values of each inflammatory marker (0 or 1), which yielded a score ranging from 0 (low) to 4 (high). Visceral AT was positively associated with C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 levels (r >= 0.35, p < 0.0001), but negatively associated with adiponectin (r = -0.29, p
