Abstract
Biomarkers of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases were assessed in Bangladeshi overweight subjects categorized by Asian BMI criteria. After screening 300 people, 90 apparently healthy subjects were enrolled and grouped into normal weight, overweight and obese. Compared to normal weight, the overweight and obese groups showed significant elevation of serum triglyceride, insulin, homocysteine, insulin resistance/sensitivity, and atherogenic index of plasma. Cardiometabolic biomarkers did not differ between overweight and obese groups. Some biomarkers showed correlation with BMI in overweight but not in obese group. It was concluded that cardiometabolic biomarkers are elevated in Bangladeshi overweight subjects categorized by Asian BMI criteria.
