Figure 1

C-reactive protein stratified by central obesity and magnesium deficient diets. Children with central obesity presented higher C-reactive protein than normal waist circumference children (). Likewise, children who consumed a magnesium-deficient diet exhibited higher C-reactive protein concentration than children with a normal diet (). No interaction between central obesity and deficient diet was detected.
