Evaluation of novel inflammatory biomarkers in overweight, obese, and morbidly obese children: a cross-sectional study
CBC-derived inflammatory indices in pediatric obesity appear to primarily reflect adiposity-related inflammatory burden rather than isolated insulin resistance. However, owing to their limited explanatory power and low discriminative performance, they should not be interpreted as standalone diagnostic tools but as biomarkers supporting clinical assessment.
