Negatively predict CRP (Model 4, Table 2). These results were not affected by including individuals with CRP over 2 mg/L in the model. The association between current investment in linear growth and CRP did not extend to height. Neither height (b = ?.01, SE = 0.02, P = 0.75, R2 = 0.0001), nor a height-for-age z-score (b = ?.03 SE = 0.16, P = 0.87, R2 = 0.0003) were associated with CRP. As an alter
E both investing heavily in growth and had high adiposity, however their CRP levels (M = ?.63, SD = 0.97) did not differ significantly from girls with similar levels of adiposity who were not investing in growth (M = ?.87, SD = 1.09, t = ?.10, P = 0.28). Girls who were investing in growth and had low adiposity had the lowest CRP levels of any group (M = ?.74, SD = 1.10), significantly lower than g

As an anti-inflammatory effect [51]. How other types of physical activity, such as that associated with agricultural lifestyles, relates to immune function is an important locus for future research. The dominant public health discourse concerning CRP is one of pathology and "chronic inflammation", yet for at least a decade human biologists working in non-Western populations have found lower CRP th

Here we find that CRP, in a range well below the chronic levels understood to result from obesity, is positively associated with adiposit
