Pediatric obesity is associated with multi-organ inflammation and an increased risk of cardiometabolic disease. To identify novel biomarkers of early-onset obesity-related cardiometabolic risk, we performed targeted proteomics, analyzing 149 proteins related to inflammation and cardiovascular disease in a cross-sectional sample of 2,377 children and adolescents with overweight/obesity and 1,647 with normal weight. In addition, we analyzed 64 circulating inflammation-related proteins in 184 child...
