Abstract
Obesity is a growing concern in many parts of the world, and its association with various metabolic and cardiovascular conditions has been well-documented. This study aimed to investigate the effect of obesity on triglycerides, uric acid, and blood pressure in individuals living in Aden, Yemen. A total of 100 participants were included in this study, which was conducted in June 2024 at a diagnostic lab in Aden Hospitals. The results showed that a significant percentage of participants had elevated levels of triglycerides (76%) and uric acid (54%), while over half of the participants (53%) had high blood pressure. Furthermore, there was a significant association between obesity and elevated triglyceride levels, with a p-value of less than 0.05. Other significant relationships were found between triglycerides and age, residence, as well as between uric acid and place of residence. These findings highlight the importance of addressing obesity in the context of metabolic and cardiovascular health in Aden, Yemen.
