Biomarkers associated with obesity and overweight in the roma population residing in Eastern Slovakia
Original language description
Background: Obesity and overweight are major contributors to the global burden of chronic diseases and disability in both majority and minority populations. Methods: Data from the cross-sectional population-based HepaMeta study conducted in Slovakia in 2011 were used. The sample comprised a total of 452 Roma. Measurements of special bioactive mediators were taken in final groups consisting of 63 male Roma respondents (mean age = 32.59; SD= 8.63) and 117 female Roma respondents (mean age = 34.55; SD= 8.35). Respondents were divided into three groups: those with normal weight, those with overweight and obese. Values for anthropometric parameters, lipids parameters, C-reactive protein, TNF-alfa, IL-6, leptin, and adiponectin were determined. Results: 27.6% of examined Roma females and 26.9% of males were overweight. Obesity (BMI } 30.0 kg/m2 ) appeared in a higher proportion of males (28.8%) compared with female (26.5%).
