6Midlife CRP rises linked to body fat rather than menopause stage
Each kg/m² increase in fat mass index was linked to a 23% rise in serum C-reactive protein, whereas menopause stage showed no independent association.Each kg/m² increase in fat mass index was linked to a 23% rise in serum C-reactive protein, whereas menopause stage showed no independent association.
