ABSTRACT

Objectives :The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of the nutritional status and physique development degree with body mass index(BMI) in health checkup examinees of college students. Methods :A group of 1304 test subjects took their medical examination and their body composition, height, weight, blood pressure were measured and blood test was done. With these results we diagnosed obesity, and analysed relationship between obesity and percent body fat, basal metabolic rate, nutritive conditions, cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, liver function, renal function and blood pressure. Results :1. Obese people showed significantly increased total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein(LDL) triglyceride and significantly decreased high density lipoprotein(HDL) cholesterol. 2. Obese people showed significantly increased basal metabolic rate and skeletal muscle mass but showed significantly decreased percent skeletal muscle. 3. Development of upper body increased in obese people but development of trunk and lower body decreased in obese people. Conclusions :Obese people showed decreased percent skeletal muscle, liver function and increased cholesterol which indicates obesity can be considered to be a severe health risk.
