This study was conducted to compare anthropometric measurements between obese and non-obese Sudanese women. A total of 200 apparently healthy adult Sudanese females aged 40-50 years were invited to participate in this study. Participants were classified into two groups, non-obese, and obese (BMI-C:< 25 and >30kg/m2) based on WHO,1997. At (P<0.05) the anthropometric measurements were greater in obese women compared to non-obese women. Means of body height, body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, abdomen circumference, buttock (hips) circumference, mid upper arm circumference and waist to hips ratio of non-obese and obese women were (162.39, 57.16, 21.82, 77.67, 87.16, 99.40, 28.49, 0.77 cm) and (160.70, 81.36, 31.98, 97.45, 102.47, 116.73, 36.30, 0.83 cm) respectively. Obese women appear to have abdominal visceral fat. As anthropometric measurements are ethnic specific, more studies are recommended.Keywords

A total of 200 apparently healthy adult Sudanese females aged 40-50 years, were invited to participate in this study. Participants were classified into two groups, non-obese, and obese (BMI-C: 30kg/m2) based on WHO1997. Fasting blood glucose and uric acid concentrations were elevated significantly (P<0.05) in obese women's serum, with means (97.57, 5.95) and (92.99, 5.28) for obese and non-obese women respectively. The finding was revealed that the calcium level has no significant difference between study participants with mean (6.68 and 7.71) for obese and nonobese women respectively. This study suggests that using the interaction between glucose and uric acid level for prediction of renal or any other cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients.Keywords
