Feedback:
The American Journal of Physiology, Endocrinology, and Metabolism (You et al., 2005) indicated a relationship between body fat and the production of inflammation that is associated with heart disease. This information suggests decreasing obesity and body fat stores may help to reduce the risk. Smoking, inactivity, and uncontrolled blood pressure are risk factors associated with heart disease but not specific to inflammatory protein production.
