Bu çalışmada, Temmuz 2000-Mart 2001 tarihleri arasında, İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi İç Hastalıkları Polikliniğine çeşitli yakınmalarla başvuran ardışık 1000 vakanın, obezite dağılımı ve klinik özellikleri araştırıldı. Erkek kadın oranı yaklaşık 1/3'tü. Ortalama yaş 45.49 ± 16.3 yıl, ortalama ağırlık 71.52 + 14.4 kg, ortalama boy 1.59 ± 0.08 m, ortalama bel çevresi 86.62 + 14.4 cm, ortalama kalça çevresi 107.7 ± 12 cm, ortalama Beden Kitle İndeksi (BKİ) 28.2 ± 5.6 kg/m2 di. Vakaların %35.5'inin obez olduğu (BKİ=30 kg/m2 'nin üzerinde, erkeklerin %24.2'si, kadınların %38.7'si), %34.5'inin fazla kilolu (BKİ=25-29.9 kg/m2) olduğu tespit edildi. Diyabet, kalp hastalığı açlık kan glikozu ve kolesterol değerleri bakımından erkek ve kadınlar arasında farklılık yoktu. Trigliseridler erkeklerde kadınlardan anlamlı olarak yüksekti (p<0.0001). Kadınlarda ise hipertansiyonun erkeklere oranla anlamlı derecede daha fazla olduğu görüldü (p<0.05). Diyabet, hipertansiyon, hiperlipidemi ve artroz ile obezite arasında anlamlı ilişki vardı (p<0.0001). Yaşla, diyabet, hipertansiyon, obezite, hiperlipidemi (p<0.0001) ve kalp hastalığı (p<0.004) arasında yine anlamlı korelasyon olduğu saptandı.
