The measurement of body weight, height and blood pressure, urine sugar, oral glucose tolerance
test, S-GOT, S-GPT, cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol tests were made
in 324 severely obese elementary, middle and high school students (218 boys and 106 girls) to know the
incidence of complication in these children. .
The results were as follow:
1) S-GOT or S-GPT were increased abnormally in 38.3% and fatty livers were suspected.
2) Serum cholesterol was over 200mg% in 48.2%.
3) Serum triglyceride was over 150 mg% in 36%.
4) HDL-cholesterol was below 400 mg% in 18.3%.
5) LDL-cholesterol was over 110 mg% in 65.7%. There was no correlation between LDL-cholesterol
and obesity index.
6) Atherosclerosis index was over 3 in 56.7%.
7) The incidence of complication in severely obese children: hyperlipidemia in 60.7%, fatty liver in
38.3%, hypertension in 7.4%, diabetes mellitus in 0.38%.
