Change in CRP and insulin levels with modest changes in BMI. Box plots where upper and lower lines of the box represent the 25th and 75th percentiles and the middle line represents the median value. Whiskers represent 1.5 times the inter-quartile range. Change in CRP and insulin levels across the three groups of BMI change is significant (p for trend <0.05). (In the group with ≥5% BMI decrease, the median and 75th percentile values of change in CRP are 0).
