- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the role of obesity in the development of the metabolic syndrome (MS) in the U.S. The analysis included a total of 3,596 whites aged 19 years and above who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1992-2002. The metabolic profile in the NHANES group showed that obesity is associated with inflammation, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia.
