Description

An Obesity Profile is a set of tests and assessments used to evaluate an individual's risk of obesity and associated health complications. It often includes a combination of physical exams, lab tests, and assessments to understand the underlying causes, current status, and potential risks linked to obesity. These tests help assess underlying causes and complications associated with obesity: Lipid Profile (Cholesterol and Triglycerides): Elevated levels of total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), and triglycerides are common in individuals with obesity. Blood Glucose or HbA1c: To assess whether an individual has or is at risk for type 2 diabetes due to obesity. Thyroid Function Tests (TSH, Free T4, Free T3): Hypothyroidism is often associated with weight gain or difficulty losing weight. Liver Function Tests (ALT, AST, GGT): Obesity can lead to fatty liver disease or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Insulin Resistance Test (Fasting Insulin): Insulin resistance is common in people with obesity and increases the risk of developing diabetes. C-Reactive Protein (CRP): An inflammatory marker often elevated in individuals with obesity, suggesting a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
