BIOCHEMICAL MARKERS OF OBESITY IN THE 18-25-YEAR-OLD PATIENTS

Abstract

Aim. To study the dynamics of metabolic syndrome markers: insulin, glucose, uric acid, triglycerides, low and high density lipoproteides; of food addiction (ghrelin-leptin) in both genders, of 18-25-year-old patients with normal and extensive body fat tissue amount.Material and methods. Totally, 76 persons participated. At first stage, participants underwent survey on their food related behavior and physical activity. For the evaluation of fat tissue amount OMRON BF 506 devices were used, and the analizator of the balance of water-containing body sectors ABC-01 “Medass”. At the concluding stage of the study all participants underwent biochemical and hormonal blood tests.Results. Excessive amount of body fat by bioimpedance is common in normal body mass index. Nevertheless, the correlation data on leptin, insulin, lipids and uric acid with gender and amount of fat tissue makes it to suspect subclinical metabolism disorder in the presence of minimal excess of fat tissue.Conclusion. For the on time more effective prevention of obesity and its consequences as type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension, etc., it is aimful to use the results of body fat tissue amount measurements, but not empirical calculations.
