Objective: Identify if patients with overweight-obesity, have higher plamatic level of inflammatory markers in comparison with normal weight patients, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis Material and methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in 278 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, treated at the Víctor Lazarte Echegaray hospital; data collection was executed during the period between October 2017 and August 2018. The sample was obtained in a non-probabilistic way and for convenience, and was divided into two groups according to their BMI: overweight-obesity and normal weight; and then proceeded with the analysis of the dependent variable and the intervening ones. Results: Plasma levels of inflammatory markers had an average CRP value of 13.74 mg / dl and 10.12 mg / dl in patients with overweight-obesity and normal weight, respectively (p = 0.015); about ESR, the mean was 39.26 mm / hr in patients with overweight-obesity and 28.16 mm / hr in those with normal weight (p = 0.000). Dyslipidemia occurred in 58.1% and 37.8% of patients with overweight-obesity and normal weight, respectively. (p = 0.001) Regarding functional capacity, 46.1% of the patients with overweight-obesity did not present impairment, while the 36% of the patients with normal weight neither did. (p = 0.001) Conclusions: Plasma levels of inflammatory markers, CRP and ESR, were higher in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and overweight-obesity, compared with normal weight. In addition, dyslipidemia was more frequent in the overweight-obese group, and most patients had no disability according to the HAQ questionnaire
