Abstract
Obesity is a condition in which there is excess storage of fat in the body leading to cardiovascular morbidities, insulin resistance and even the development of type 2 diabetes. Obesity may promote iron deficiency by inhibition of dietary iron uptake from the duodenum. The increased iron demand, owing to physical growth, increased fat mass or blood volume, in conjunc-tion with diminished iron uptake in adolescent obesity, may explain the clear-cut association of obesity with iron deficiency. The aim of this study was to determine and correlate insulin re-sistance and serum parameters of iron status (serum ferritin and trans-ferring saturation) in obese diabetic and non diabetic cases This study was carried out on 80 subjects for six months May 2014 to November 2014. Inclusion criteria: The selection criteria was patients having 1. 60 patients suffering from obesity 2. Age 45 – 55 years. 3. Age and sex matched apparently healthy controls. 4. Haemoglobin level of ≥13 g/dl in male, ≥12 g/dl in female. Methods All included patients will be subjected to the following: 1. Full clinical history. 2. Full physical examination. 3. Anthropometric measurement. 4. Laboratory investigation. Summary & Conclusions - 77 - This case study included 80 cases, their ages ranged from 45 to 55 years. 43 females and 37 males. 20 clinically normal healthy subjects and 60 obese which divided in to 3 subgroups: 1. Obese 2. Prediabetic 3. Diabetic All subjects included were subjected to full history taking, through clinical examination, anthropometric evaluation [height, weight, BMI and their percentile for sex and age], laboratory investiga-tions [CBC, HbA1c, FBG, 2H PP, Insulin level, Lipid profile, Liver function, Renal function]. Regarding the Weight prediabetic group had significantly higher values of Mean ± SD 95.88± 10.10when compared to others groups. Regarding the waist diabetic group had significant higher values of Mean ± S. D 98.35±7.66increasing than normal. According to BMI obese groups had Mean ± S.D higher than normal.
