ABSTRACT

Objectives: We conducted this study to analysis obesity pattern and obesity related bloodparameters. Methods: A total of 64 overweight and obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥23 cm/kg2) women whohad no other disease was recruited. Body composition and obesity related blood parameters weremeasured. Also subjects were given and filled out the Obesity pattern identification questionnaire. We analyzed the differences of body composition and blood parameters and measuredcorrelations of BMI and blood parameters in each obesity pattern. Results: The distribution of obesity pattern was liver depression (35.6%), food accumulation(47.5%) and deficiency (pi and yang deficiency, 22.0%), in order. There were no significantdifferences age, body composition and obesity related blood parameters between obesitypatterns. BMI and obesity related blood parameters, however, showed significant correlationsdepending on obesity patterns. Conclusions: We concluded that correlations between BMI and obesity related blood parameterswere differed depending on obesity patterns.
