in order to find if the metabolic disorders more frequently found in our obese population were similar to the ones reported in the literature for other countries , a study was conducted in a group of 34 obese subjects ( 10 men and 24 women ) whose only apparent alteration was a body mass index above 30 ( mean value : 36.8 +/- 4.6 ) to obtain the relation between anthropometric measurements ( quetelet index , skinfold measures and waist/hip ratio ) and plasma levels of nine biochemical parameters ( including lipids , lipoproteins and glucose and insulin levels after an oral glucose load ) .
