Variations in obesity degree (overweight, obese, non severely obese and severely obese) are summarized on Table 3.
These included intracellular water, extracellular water, total body water, protein, soft lean mass, fat free mass, body fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, percent body fat, water of trunk, edema score, visceral fat area, obesity degree, body cell mass, bone mineral contents, basal metabolic rate and fat mass of trunk.
Insulin facilitates the conversion of carbohydrates into fat and increases triglyceride levels, which seems to result in the higher levels of obesity degree (p = 0.01730) among the insomniacs.
Obesity degree was evaluated using the z-score BMI, calculated with the LMS method [ 10].
Owner gender was unimportant for the obesity degree and the compliance with treatment, though motivation to a weight-loss plan was higher in younger ones.
Also, those physiological modifications of insulin sensitivity, as a consequence of insulin secretion, are different between males and females and are exacerbated by the obesity degree.
TEP and DT plus gender and obesity-degree, all together or separately, represented the "between factors" while the "before" and "after" treatment times always played the role of the "within factor".
There were no suggestions of significant interactions between measures of obesity and degree of aggressiveness of the tumours.
The reasons for differences are not clear and may partially relate to frequencies of obesity and degree of abnormal glucose metabolism in the general populations where HAPO centers were located.
Most patients with this form of diabetes are obese, and obesity itself causes some degree of insulin resistance.
