Abstract
⺠Evidence is growing to suggest that IL-6 has a causal role in atherogenesis. ⺠We demonstrate higher circulating IL-6 in South Asian women compared to well matched Europeans. ⺠30% of this difference could be explained by the higher adiposity in South Asian women. ⺠This work further establishes links between metabolic and immune pathways.
