    Differences in the body composition and biochemistry in women grouped as normal-weight, overweight and obese according to body mass index and their relation with cardiometabolic risk
    (VERSITA, 2010) Ozenoglu, Aliye; Ugurlu, Serdal; Can, Gunay; Sarkis, Cihat; Demirel, Yeltekin
    Morbidity of obesity-related diseases tends to increase due to a rise in the body mass index (BMI). We aimed to investigate how the body composition and biochemical parameters change while BMI increases in adult women were categorized as so: as normal weight, overweight and obese. Our objectives are to study the effects of those changes in the development of metabolic disturbances and to find out which parameters are the most sensitive to predict cardiometabolic risks. Three hundred and twenty two records of adult women (mean age: 38.62 +/- 12.71 year) who admitted to our unit concerning about losing or preserving their weights, were analyzed in the study. All patients had undergone anthropometric measurements and body composition analyses as well as some biochemical tests. Body composition analyses were performed by means of the Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer (BIA). Increase in BMI significantly increased the body fat, blood sugar, insulin, triglyceride and uric acid levels. BMI and circumference of the waist were significantly and negatively correlated with the ratio of body water and lean mass/fat mass. However they were positively correlated with the ratio of fat mass and basal metabolism. Furthermore, it was also found that BMI and circumference of the waist were significantly and positively correlated with level of fasting blood sugar, insulin, triglyceride, homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), uric acid and fibrinogen levels, and negatively correlated with high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level. In multiple regression analyses, circumference of waist measurements was significantly correlated with insulin, triglyseride and HDL, whereas the correlation between BMI and these parameters was not found significant. Total body fat mass (as %) showed significant correlation only with HDL-C level. It could be said that obesity which is a disorder that causes many health complications and affects the quality of life in the short and long term could be prevented or cured by keeping negative environmental conditions under control. According to our results, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) measurement was thought to be more related for metabolic and cardiovascular disorders rather than BMI. We also propose to test fasting blood glucose, insulin, triglyceride, HDL, fibrinogen, homocystein (HOM) levels along with VAT measurements to predict more truly about not only global cardiometabolic risk but also dementia in later life.

    PREVALANCE OF ASTHMA AND ALLERGIC DISEASES IN MID-ANATOLIA
    (NOBEL ILAC, 2012) Arslan, Sulhattin; Ugurlu, Serdal; Demirel, Yeltekin; Can, Gunay
    Objective: Allergic diseases are commonly seen in childhood. In this study the prevalences of asthma and other allergic diseases were investigated among the school children in Sivas in the year 2008. Material and Method: The questionnaire was based on the "International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC)" questionnaires. If children were younger than 12 years the questionnaire was distributed to children by their teachers at school and was filled out by their parents. Results: Mean age of 1947 children was 10.28 +/- 2.24 (7-16), 50.9%of them were girls and 49.1%were boys. lifetime wheezing rate was 26.8%, physician-diagnosed asthma was 10.1%, allergic rhinitis was 25.2%, and allergic dermatitis was %28.3. The asthmatic subjects also reported the symptoms of allergic rhinitis (4.7%), conjunctivitis (4.2%) and dermatitis (4.3%). Conclusion: We determined the prevalence of asthma and other allergic disease of primary school children between ages of 7-15 in Sivas. One should bare in mind that one or more allergic diseases such as rhinitis, dermatitis and conjunctivitis may be observed in a student with asthma depending on the relationship between those diseases.

    The Reference Values of Body Composition for Adult Females Who are Classified as Normal Weight, Overweight or Obese Accoding to Body Mass Index
    (Medi+World Int, 2008) Ozenoglu, Aliye; Ugurlu, Serdal; Can, Gunay; Hatemi, Husrev
    Objective: The aim of this study was to conduct the reference values for body composition measured with Bioelectrical Impedance Analyser (BIA) of adult females without any endocrinologic and/or metabolic disturbances, according to their body mass index (BMI) and grouped as normal, overweight, obese and morbidly obese. Patients and Methods: A total of 327 female subjects were taken into the study. Their body compositions were measured with BIA, in addition to measurement of their weight, height, and waist and hip circumferences. Results were statistically analysed with ANOVA test. Results: As BMI got higher, percentages of body fat and basal metabolism (BM) increased significantly; but percentages of body water and fat free mass, and lean/fat ratio showed a significant decrease. In addition, waist and hip ratios, percentage of body fat and BM showed a significant positive corelation with BMI. Conclusion: We concluded that our results could be used as reference values for studies on body composition, especially to predict the degree of body fatness of obese patients and also nutritional status of patients who need nutritional supports.
