Can inflammatory marker levels help in detecting early complications of childhood obesity?

Considering the high levels of ICAM-1 and the correlation of VCAM-1 with measures of adiposity, our concern is on the correct approach in managing our obese subjects to precociously indentify the formation of the atherosclerotic plaque. Moreover, in our study inflammatory marker were not identified as predictor factors for IR, MS, and NAFLD so other studies are needed to better understand which other markers can help us for the precocious diagnosis of these complications.
