Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) serves as a crucial marker for assessing abdominal obesity (AO). AO is characterized by excess fat accumulation around the waist, usually seen to be linked to a higher chance of developing metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. The prevalence of AO, in North Indian females, has been linked with a higher level of Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), showcasing an intricate relationship between endocrine function and fat distribution. Hs-CRP is observed in individuals with obesity, emphasizing its association with metabolic health, inflammation, and adipose tissue. Therefor understanding of these associations is vital for addressing public health concerns and developing targeted interventions to mitigate the adverse outcomes linked to abdominal obesity.
