- Background: Obesity is very costly for society and weight reduction is important to reduce obesity related dis-eases. We have evaluated the effect of weight reduction on CRP values to see if high sensitivity CRP could be used to provide persons on life style intervention programs with positive feedback.Methods: Study subjects (n = 26) were recruited to a life style intervention program aiming for weight loss among the laboratory staff at Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden. Blood samples for high sensitivity CRP were collect-ed at inclusion and after 4 weeks. Body composition was estimated by measurements performed on an inexpensive bioimpedance analyzer.Results: CRP reduction was significantly associated with weight reduction after four weeks (p = 0.00005) and eight weeks (p = 0.0002). Data from the bioimpedance analyzer were not useful on an individual level.Conclusions: High sensitivity CRP could be used to provide positive feedback in workplace weight reduction pro-grams.
