Association between eosinophil number and overweight status: a nonlinear, bidirectional study
Our study demonstrates an inverted U-shaped relationship between eosinophil number and overweight status/obesity/BMI. Eosinophil number is also significantly associated with HDL and triglycerides. These findings suggest that eosinophils may play a role in overweight (or obesity) and provide valuable insights for exploring the underlying immune mechanisms of overweight status.
