| Popis: | Purpose: To assess the preoperative body mass indices of various orthopaedic conditions, there are a few previous nutritional studies in surgical patients, and none did solely the BMI study in general population in Korea. The current authors planned indirectly to evaluate the Koreans’ obesity. Methods: BMI was used to assess the obesity status of the 2063 orthopaedic patients who were subjected to surgeries; 1272 fractures, 490 various elective surgeries, 232 arthroplasties, 59 musculoskeletal infections, and 10 uninfected diabetics, in Jeju island. Results: Among total 2063 patients, 101 patients (4.8%) had underweight, normal weight in 1220 patients (59.1%), overweight in 630 (30.5%), and the so-called “obese” in 124 cases (6.0%). The obesity in detail of each group is listed in Table 2–6. Among 1272 fracture cases, underweight in 79 (6.2%), normal weight in 752 (61.5%), overweight in 345 (27.1%), and overall class I–III obese in 66 (5.1%). 490 elective surgery patients had overweight in 34.5% and obese in 7.1%. The incidences of obesity in each condition are nearly similar, ranging from 5.2% to 7.3% except for the diabetic one. Conclusions: This study on BMI of the orthopaedic patients disclosed that the incidence of obesity is not high yet in Jeju islanders, in spite of the highly improved living standard. |
