The evaluation of obesity through blood parametres
Abstract
Obesity and dyslipidemia are increasing problems in many countries and related the multiple
cardiovascular risk factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between some
simple anthropometric measurements and lipid parameters. In all patients, age, gender, weight, and
height were recorded. Body mass index (BMI) calculated. Plasma leptin, total cholesterol (TC),
triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density
lipoprotein (VLDL), impairment fasting glucose (IFG) and CRP ( C-Reactive Protein Test) were recorded
and compared. There was a significant correlation in adult obese patient group between BMI, TC, VLDL
(p<0.001); IFG, LDL, TG, and serum leptin (p<0.05) level. CRP and HDL were higher but not statistical
significant.
