Abstract

Height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip circumference ratio (WHR), and body fat (BF were determined in 453 female Ramathibodi Hospital Staff, aged 19-61 years. These mean (±SEM) anthropometric parameters were 1.55+0.002 m, 55.1±0.4 kg, 23.0±0.2 kg/m2, 0.82±0.003, and 21.2±0.2 kg, respectively. The prevalences of overall obesity (BMI >= 25 kg/m2) and abdominal obesity (WHR>0.8) were 27.0 and 54.1 %, respectively. Their serum TC, LDL-C, TG, TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, apo B and FBG increased with overall obesity based on BMI or BF whereas opposite results were observed for serum HDLC and apo A-l levels. Except serum TC, LDL-C, and apo A-l levels, other biochemical parameters were also influenced by abdominal obesity based on WHR.
