| Abstract: | ABSTRACT Background: Obesity is a major public health problem and the most common nutritional disease in industrialized and developing countries. It is an important risk factor for chronic diseases as well as disorders including: cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancers in general, and effects on blood profile especially anemia. The aim of this study was to effect of obesity on the hemogram profile in people attending the Regional Hospital Bafoussam, Cameroon Methods: This study was done at the Regional Hospital Bafoussam, on 215 purposively sampled consented study participants. Height, weight, body mass index, blood pressure, blood analysis were done using standardized methods. Statistical analysis was done using the Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS version 21). The Chi square test and the analysis of variance test (ANOVA) were used to compute inferential statistics. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Out of 215 study participants obtained in total, the prevalence of obesity was 32.1% (n=69). Factors that were significantly associated with obesity were female gender (p=0.004), age (p=0.002) and marital status (p=0.0001). The variations observed on the blood count profile were: the appearance of false polycythemia (in morbid obesity), the decrease in the average values of white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (HB), hematocrit (HCT), mean cell volume (MCV) and mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in obese people. There was also an observed increase in mean platelet (PLT). Obesity had a statistically significant effect on RBC (p=0.04), HGB (p=0.044) and HCT (p=0.027); indeed, the more the weight increases, the more the RBC, HB and HCT decrease. Conclusion: This study concludes that obesity has a significant effect on blood count parameters, in particular red blood cells, hematocrit and hemoglobin. It is very important to control for the effects of obesity on RBC, HB and HCT in obesity management. |
