The evaluation of obesity through blood parametres

Abstract

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 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
