Obesity in children is associated with increased dengue virus binding, but not neutralizing, antibody responses following primary infection

2026-08-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Obesity has been associated with higher risk of dengue virus (DENV) infection and disease, yet its influence on antibody responses to DENV remains undefined. <h4>Methods</h4> We evaluated whether nutritional status—based on BMI z-score (BMIz)—or blood markers of body fat—leptin and adiponectin—are associated with binding and/or neutralizing antibody responses to DENV in 85 children in the Nic...
