“…27 In research conducted in Tokat, the average values of BMI were found to be 25.7 in men and 27.9 kg/m 2 in women; the prevalence of obesity was found to be 33.6 in women and 12.9 in men, and, in women, meaningful level of high obesity frequency was observed. 28 In this research, according to the BMI values of women, it was determined that a statistically significant difference was not present between age, PrBG, and PoBG a statistically significant difference was determined, however, between the average values of WC (P<0.000), total cholesterol level (P<0.050), HDL-c (P<0.026), LDL-c (P<0.006), and triglyceride (P<0.024). According to the BMI values of men, it was determined that there was no statistically total cholesterol significant difference between age, PrBG, total cholesterol, HDL-c, and LDL-c.…”

Background: This study was planned and carried out to determine the influence of nutrition situations and physical activity levels of individuals working as academicians at the university on their anthropometric measurements, blood glucose, and blood lipid. Materials and Methods: 47 volunteers participated in the research, and their height, waist circumference (WC), and weight was measured. The blood samples of the volunteers was taken after 12 hours of fasting, their preprandial blood glucose (PrBG), postprandial blood glucose (PoBG), total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol levels were measured. Nutritional consumption measurements were taken with 24-hour recall method, and, after having the volunteer subjects make nutritional changes, daily consumption quantities were determined. Results: The body mass index (BMI) was 24.34±4.73kg/m2 in the women and 27.90±3.97 kg/m2 in men. The mean WC was 84.15±15.89 cm for women and 98.18±10.89 for men. A statistically significant difference was found between the BMI of the women and their WC, total cholesterol level, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglyceride averages. According to the BMI of the men, a statistically significant difference was found with their WC, PoBG, and triglyceride averages. In both women and men, it was observed that as their physical activity increased, their levels of BMI, WC, PoBG level, and triglyceride level were reduced. Conclusions: We conclude from this study that academicians who are overweight and who suffer from impaired glucose intolerance and dyslipidemia have balanced nutrition and to do physical activities to become healthy.

Obesity is a multifactorial and multisystemic pathogenic condition that causes an increased risk of many diseases. As one of the major causes of preventable deaths, it also heavily features among the leading health problems worldwide. One of the main purposes of primary care is to prevent the development of obesity disease. Lifestyle changes, diet, and exercise programs to be made within the scope of primary care are some of the necessary interventions for an effective struggle. Primary care is a key point considering obesity and the pathological conditions caused by obesity. This review article presents the existing clinical approach to obesity in primary care.

“…It is thought that the duration of obesity and its type, that is, central type fat accumulation, is more effective in the development of diabetes mellitus and glucose intolerance than the degree of obesity [15,16]. A study conducted by Kutlutürk et al [17] investigated the relationship between obesity and metabolic risk factors and found a significant relationship between obesity and fasting serum glucose levels. Innocent et al…”

Objectives: Obesity has become a pandemy all around the world, etiology of obesity consist multiple factors and it causes serious health problems. It is known that the low level of vitamin B12 has adverse effects on many systems, mainly cell DNA. In our study, it was planned to evaluate whether there is a relation between body mass index and serum vitamin B12 level. Methods: We included 168 patients aged 18-67 years, who did not have a chronic disease and who applied to the outpatient clinic in our center. We divided the patients into 3 groups according to the body mass index (BMI): Group I: normal weight (BMI: 18.50-24.99 kg/m2); Group II: overweight (BMI: 25-29.9 kg/m 2) and Group III: obese (BMI: ≥ 30 kg/m 2). Vitamin B12 levels were evaluated between these groups. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride. Vitamin D levels were not statistically significant between the groups. The mean serum vitamin B12 levels of the individuals were 299 ± 125 pmol/L, 298 ± 148 pmol/L and 313 ± 143 pmol/L in Group I, Group II and Group III, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference and correlation between BMI and serum vitamin B12 levels in the groups. Conclusions: The etiology of obesity, a serious health problem in today's society, has proven to be multifactorial. No significant association was found between BMI and vitamin B12 levels at the end of the study. It was concluded that similar studies should be performed with a large case series.
