“…According to the latest data, in addition to island countries such as Nauru, Palau and Niue, which are known to have more than half of the world's populations obese, Kuwait (37.9%), the United States (36.2%), Saudi Arabia (35.4%), Qatar (35.1%), Lebanon (33.7) Libya (32.5%) and Turkey (32.1%) are the countries where obesity is most common in the world 9 . Obesity, the prevalence of which is increasing worldwide, causes metabolic and endocrine changes, leading to an increase in chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, respiratory system diseases, osteoarthritis, cancer 10,11 . While there is more than one method to determine obesity, in practice, the definition and classification of obesity is made with the Body Mass Index (BMI), which is obtained by dividing the weight in kilograms of adults by the square of the height in meters 12 .…”

Background: In this study conducted in adult healthy women, it was aimed to determine the relationship between anthropometric measurements such as Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference, waist/height ratio and blood parameters, which are used to define obesity. Methods: A total of 90 women, with a mean age of 38.4±8.8 years, 34 pre-obese between BMI: 25.0-29.9 kg/m2 and 56 obese BMI: ≥30.0 kg/m2, participated in the study. Results: According to plasma atherogenic index (PAI), women with high cardiovascular risk had lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) values, while low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglyceride (TG), aspartate transaminase (AST) values were found to be higher (p<0.05). It was observed that obese women according to BMI had higher fasting glucose, TG, alanine transaminase (ALT), AST and urea values, and lower HDL and mean erythrocyte volume (MCV) values compared to pre-obese women (p<0.05). A moderately positive relationship was found between body fat percentage, waist circumference and waist/height ratio and fasting glucose and ALT levels of women, and a moderate negative relationship was found between vitamin D levels (p<0.05). Conclusions: It is understood that the increase in body fat tissue, especially in the abdominal region, in adult healthy women has negative effects on blood parameters and the risk of developing chronic diseases will decrease by preventing this situation.
