Relationship of Obesity to Serum Ferritin, Lipid Profile, uric acid and urea at Obesity Medical Center in Iraq

Abstract

Obesity is a hyper assembly of energy in the form of adipose tissues which has worse effects on health. The major factors of obesity epidemic are: heavy mails which are rich in lipids, carbohydrates resulting in overweight and eventually obesity, decrease in physical activity that lead to defect in calories conception. In health care facilities ferritin assay is used as a screening test to detect iron deficiency; however, its reliability in obesity has been questioned. The aim of present study was to assess and compare the incidence of obesity, hyperferritinemia, hyperlipidemia and hypouricemia among middle-aged hypertensive patients in the local setting as well as, examined ferritin concentrations and other classical indices in obese males and females. This limited population study was conducted at Obesity Medical Center at Al-Kindy Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq from January to march 2016. One hindered and eight patients were enrolled in this study plus to participate of 61 subjects as healthy control. On the basis of body mass index (BMI), 169 participants were divided into two groups: BMI ≥ 18.5–25 kg/m2 non obese (control), BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 obese subjects. The main demographic features data of the study population appears that systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were raised significantly in obese patients (P
