| Popis: | Background: Obesity is a major public health issue which has been established to be a significant risk factor for several metabolic disorders such as impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidaemia, and atherosclerosis. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the serum lipid profiles and glycated haemoglobin of obese and non-obese adults in Calabar, Nigeria. Methodology: This was a prospective comparative study that involved quantifying serum lipid profile and glycated hemoglobin (Hb) in seventy (70) obese subjects and thirty (30) non-obese control subjects. Results: The mean glycated Hb, Total Cholesterol (TC), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and Tryglyceride (TG) for obese subjects were 6.13±2.76%, 4.92±1.23mmol/L, 3.18±1.21mmol/L, 1.21±0.40mmol/L, 128.14±12.65mmHg and 88.56±11.87mmHg respectively. These values were significantly higher than those of the non-obese control subjects whose mean values for glycated Hb, TC, LDL and TG were 5.34±1.15%, 3.08 ± 0.63mmol/L, 1.74 ± 0.54mmol/L, 0.67±0.33mmol/L (p 0.05). A positive correlation between BMI, glycated Hb, TC, LDL was observed in obese subjects (r=0.341, 0.287, 0.393, P |
