Abstract
Objectives: The sample selected for this study were obese adults with a BMI over 30, with no clinically apparent liver or kidney disease, to assess the relationship between BMI and serum albumin as a possible indicator of health state.
Materials and Methods: A survey was carried out with 200 adults selected from the population, ages ranging between 18 and 65.
Participants were categorized into BMI categories: obesity, overweight, and various levels of obesity. Participants donated blood samples to determine sub-joint serum albumin levels and demographic information was recorded. Various mathematical reports and regressions were conducted to determine the correlation between BMI and serum albumin.
Results: The study established that BMI was negatively related to serum albumin, with serum albumin reducing as BMI augmented. The overall mean serum albumin was 4.0g/dL, and as expected, this had a negative association with BMI, as patients in the higher BMI categories reported lower levels.
Conclusion: The study's findings stress the need for measuring serum albumin to assess obesity risk factors among adults who do not have liver and kidney diseases.
