Abstract

There are sex differences in low-grade inflammation markers in obesity-related disorders. Little is known, however, about a possible sex-specific association of relative weight change from youth to adulthood with actual low-grade inflammation. The aim of this study was to identify possible sex differences in adiponectin, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-1Ra (IL-1Ra), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels with respect to the relative change in body mass index (BMI) from youth to middle age. The study population consisted of 403 men and 500 women from 1 Finnish town. Weight, height, and adiponectin, IL-1β, IL-1Ra, and hs-CRP levels were measured in 2003 at a mean age of 46 years. Self-reported weight at the age of 20 years was recorded. In women, even after adjustment for BMI in adulthood, a statistically significantly negative linear association was observed between the quartiles of relative change in BMI and adiponectin levels (P < 0.001 for linearity). Significantly positive linear associations were also observed between the change in BMI and IL-1Ra (P = 0.032 for linearity) and hs-CRP (P = 0.029 for linearity) levels. In men, there was no statistically significant association among the quartiles of relati...Continue Reading
