Objectives: We conducted this study to analysis obesity pattern and obesity related blood parameters.
Methods: A total of 64 overweight and obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥23 cm/kg2) women who had no other disease was recruited. Body composition and obesity related blood parameters were measured. Also subjects were given and filled out the Obesity pattern identification questionnaire. We analyzed the differences of body composition and blood parameters and measured correlations 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 significant differences age, body composition and obesity related blood parameters between obesity patterns. BMI and obesity related blood parameters, however, showed significant correlations depending on obesity patterns.
Conclusions: We concluded that correlations between BMI and obesity related blood parameters were differed depending on obesity patterns.
