Clinical and biochemical characteristics in PWS and normal controls according to BMI status (obese/overweight vs normal BMI).

<p>Mean±SD values for clinical and laboratory parameters for overweight PWS patients (BMI > 25 kg/m²) compared with overweight control volunteers, anda for PWS patients whose BMI was less than 25 kg/m² compared with lean control participants. Values which are significantly different between the two groups appear in bold. Differences among the four groups were analysed using a 2 by 2 ANOVA, followed by post-hoc Tukey tests. CRP levels were not normally distributed and were analysed using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. Values which differ significantly between the groups are shown in bold font.</p><p>Clinical and biochemical characteristics in PWS and normal controls according to BMI status (obese/overweight vs normal BMI).</p
