Disease relevance of Fah17

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the prevalence of obesity and the lipoprotein-related characteristics among young male adults in the Taiwan area [1].
Pearson correlation coefficients of body weight, body height, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference and waist-hip ratio (WHR) to lipoprotein variables showed that both BMI and WHR are positively correlated with CHOL, TG and apo B, but negatively correlated with HDL-C [1].

High impact information on Fah17

METHODS: We measured body mass index (BMI) and capillary blood apolipoprotein (apo) B and A-I levels (the carrier proteins for low and high density lipoprotein cholesterol, respectively) as well as lipoprotein (Lp) (a) [2].

Chemical compound and disease context of Fah17

CONCLUSION: The prevalence of obesity is slightly higher than reported in previous studies in Taiwan. The obese subjects had various abnormal lipoprotein metabolic characteristics, such as higher CHOL, TG, and apo B and lower HDL-C levels than non-obese subjects [1].
