Abstract

The aim of this research was to determine whether the risk factors are associated with usCRP elevations in young girls and female adolescents. From a total of 2500 public school students a group of 150 were selected for having total cholesterol levels above 150 mg/dL and altered usPCR. The positive correlations were: Sedentary Life, Abdominal circumference, Blood Pressure and Total Cholesterol. These results once more point to awareness measures regarding healthy lifestyle.
