Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio is correlated with baseline anthropometric measurements in patients with obesity but not with weight-loss process after sleeve gastrectomy - An observational cohort study

Abstract

Introductionː A strong connection between inflammation and obesity was repeatedly described, with the latter defined as a chronic low-degree systemic inflammatory state. This study analyzed the correlations between inflammatory blood indexes and both baseline anthropometric measurements and the weight–loss process after bariatric surgery.
