Abstract order to prevent and effectively manage obesity, it is essential The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in to accurately assess obesity[4]. serum Iron, total iron binding capacity(TIBC) and hemoglobin Obesity and related complications as well as iron A1c(HbA1c) according to the body mass index(BMI) of deficiency(ID) are major issues that affect significant South Korean adults. This study analyzed The Fifth Korea proportions of the global population[5]. The association National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, and between iron status and obesity is one that should be explored classified in normal weight G(43.3%), Overweigh G (24.8%) further[6]. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is expected to affect and obesity G (31.9%), then analyzed survey and of nearly 10% of the world’s population by 2030[7]. More than total of 4485 subject. Data were analyzed using descriptive 25% of the U.S. population aged 65 years has DM[8]. The statistics, χ2-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test Pearson correlation epidemic of type 2 diabetes is linked to increasing rates of coefficient and multiple regression analysis(SPSS 24.0). overweight and obesity in the population[9]. The major findings of this study were as follows. First, The The obesity may be associated with changes in the iron age was the highest in the overweight G(52.66y), followed by parameters, including TIBC, Obesity-related inflammation is the obesity G(50.89y) and the lowest in the normal weight expected to result in reduced serum iron levels in obese adults. G(46.67y). Obesity and Overweight G showed more female Low iron levels were present in 38.8%, 12.1%, and 4.4% of than male. Second, There was no significant difference in obese, overweight and normal-weight subject[10]. Iron plays a serum iron(μg/ dL) between normal weight G(111.80), major role not only for hemoglobin synthesis alone, but also overweight G(115.13) and obesity G(115.93), TIBC(μg/ dL) for oxidative and energy production[11]. was the highest in the obesity G(319.93), followed by the The low iron levels in overweight and obese subjects are most overweight G(312.30) and the lowest in the normal weight probably caused by the inflammatory mechanisms, which G(312.13). arrest iron in the reticuloendothelial system by releasing HbA1c(%) was the highest in the obesity G(5.97), followed different inflammatory mediators like cytokines and so by the overweight G(5.83) and the lowest in the normal forth[12]. Association of ID with obesity doubles the ill health weight G(5.64). Third, BMI was not correlated with serum effects of the obesity itself. Though chronic inflammation iron, and positive correlated with TIBC and HbA1c. In caused by excess adipose tissue, rather than dietary factors, addition, TIBC and HbA1c appeared to be a factor affecting offers a plausible explanation for ID in obese people[13]. Iron the BMI. We want to provide a basis data for the prevention deficiency is associated with concurrent decreased serum iron and management of obesity intervention program for Korean and increased TIBC levels, so that iron divided by TIBC, also adult. known as iron saturation ratio, is usually quite low[14]. There Keywords: Adult, Body mass index, Serum iron, Total iron is a relative scarcity of more specific test for the diagnosis of binding capacity, HbA1c ID or IDA like TIBC and so forth[15]. Obesity is associated with chronic, low grade, systemic inflammation, the inflammatory state plays a causal role in the INTRODUCTION development of insulin resistance[16] and obesity is one of the The global incidence of obesity has increased dramatically modifiable risk factors of type 2 diabetes[17]. The HbA1c over the past 50 years. Currently more than 1 billion people helps in detecting undiagnosed diabetes, especially in high are thought to have a BMI of more than 30kg/m²[1]. Obesity risk individuals[18]. The earliest diagnostic marker for is a condition in which fat tissue accumulates excessively in diabetes is elevated plasma glucose levels, HbA1c gives the body and causes health problems[2]. Obesity is is information on the long term control of diabetes[19], HbA1c recognized as a major risk factor for chronic diseases[3]. In may serve as a better indicator for glucose control in diabetic patients than fasting blood sugar levels[20]. In 2011, the

World Health Organization and the American Diabetic Serum iron, TIBC and HbA1c measurement Association accepted HbA1c≥6.5% as a diagnostic criterion The blood sampling was performed in the morning after for DM and HbA1c 5.7%~6.4% as a high-risk DM[21]. WHO fasting for 8 hours or more, and cubital was punctured classifies BMI over 25kg/m² as overweight and over 30kg/m² using a vacutainer needle and blood was drawn into a vacuum as obesity[22]. However, it is not appropriate to apply it to tube.

Data analysis

The collected data was analyzed by SPSS WIN 24.0 METHODS program(SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL, USA). The general Research Design characteristic of subjects was analyzed by descriptive statistics. The serum iron, TIBC and HbA1c differences according to This study is a descriptive survey study which attends a BMI levels were analyzed by χ2-test, ANOVA and Scheffe's secondary analysis of The Fifth Korea National Health and test. The relationship between BMI, serum iron, TIBC and Nutrition Examination Survey's raw data to check the HbA1c was analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient. differences of serum Iron, TIBC and HbA1c depends on Factors influencing BMI were multiple regression analysis. Korean adults' obesity degree. When the value of p is under 0.05, it is statistically meaningful. Samples and setting . The subject of this study is adult and data is based on ‘The Ethical consideration Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Survey (KNHANES V-3), 2015’ which Ministry of Health which is used in this study was reviewed from Korea Centers and Welfare and Korea Centers for Disease control and for Disease Control and Prevention and Institutional Review prevention conducted. Board(2012-01EXP-01-2C), and subject's anonymity and The total number of subjects in the Fifth Korea National confidentiality were guaranteed by collecting their private Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was 8058, subjects information in serial number which is unable to distinguish who were diagnosed with DM, IDA, under19 years old and and we pactionally conducted a 2012 annual survey(48weeks non-responders were excluded. The 4485 adults analyzed as a year). final data of this study.

RESULTS Measuring methods General characteristics of subject BMI The mean age of the subjects was 49.50, 43.3% for male and The Height and weight were measured after overnight fasting 56.7% for female. Subjective figure recognition were skinny with participants shoeless and wearing a lightweight gown. 16.3%, normal 41.2%, and obese 42.3%. Weight change over BMI was calculated as weight(kg) divided by the square of the past year showed no change(within 0-3Kg) 66.7%, weight the height(m). Based on this, the BMI weight status loss 13.4% and weight gain 19.6%. The mean variables of the cartegories are Normal weight(BMI<23kg/m²), subjects were BMI 23.75kg/m², serum iron 119.25μg/dL, Overweight(23≤BMI<25kg/m²), and Obese TIBC 314.66μg/dL and HbA1c 5.79%(Table 1). (BMI≥25kg/m²)[25]. The representative method to measure obesity is BMI, and the way to change BMI into clinical obesity category has slight difference following weight distribution of west and east[26]. This study classified subject’s in normal weight G 1941 (43.3%), Overweigh G, 1112(24.8%) and obesity G 1423(31.9%), then analyzed survey and blood test of total of 4485 subject.

Increased Overweight individuals are at higher risk of iron deficiency BMI among adults with DM reflected better HbA1c[41]. than normal-weight individuals[32]. The study found that both HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured in order to normal and obese female subjects had lower iron and identify the average concentration of plasma glucose over the hemoglobin levels than male[33]. Elevated BMI is associated relatively long term period of two to three months prior to the with lower iron, These findings may be explained by the date of measurement[42].
