Evidence check: CRP Entzündung in the context of Abnehmen

CRP (C-reactive protein) is a well-established inflammation marker linked to obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Weight loss can lower CRP, but the evidence is nuanced: moderate CRP reductions are seen with calorie-restricted diets, especially when reducing visceral fat. Direct DNA tests for CRP variants (e.g., in the CRP gene) have limited predictive value for individual weight loss – they indicate genetic predisposition, not current inflammation. The clinical utility of such genetic tests for weight management is unclear, as lifestyle, diet, and inflammatory status are better assessed via blood CRP measurement. In the MyBody-X context, no specific studies validate CRP-based recommendations for weight loss. Caution: isolated CRP elevation without further diagnostics should not trigger extreme diets; medical evaluation is recommended.
