Association between adiposity distribution and low-grade systemic inflammation: Tackling multicollinearity
After a comprehensive study of fat, its overall proinflammatory effect was acknowledged. Trunk fat was more proinflammatory than limb fat, even though the results were only statistically significant in men. Statistical analysis should consider multicollinearity between variables of adiposity, though simpler models could be used to address this problem.
