Introduction: Obesity is recognized as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. She can be associated with cardio-metabolic diseases. The objective of our study was to determine the metabolic profile of our obese adults.

Materials and methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study involving obese adults consulting the service of Endocrinology of Sfax, Hedi Chaker University Hospital in 2023.

Results: We recruited 40 obese patients with an average age of 43.47+/-16.56. The sex ratio was 0.21. The average duration of obesity was 20 years +/-13.25. Average weight was 95.17 kg with a minimum of 74 kg and a maximum of 134 kg. The average body mass index was 35.96+/-5.04 kg/m². Twenty percent of patients had morbid obesity (BMI=40 kg/m²). There mean systolic blood pressure was 131+/-2 mmHg with a minimum of 100 mmHg and a maximum of 170mmHg. The mean diastolic was 79.62+/-10 mmHg. The average of fasting blood sugar was 6.68+/-3.33 mmol/l. For the lipid profile, the average cholesterol total and HDL cholesterol were 4.24+/0.87 mmol/l and 1.05+/-0.19 mmol/l respectively. There average triglycerides was 1.36+/-0.46 with a maximum of 2.5 mmol/l.

Conclusions: Obesity puts you at risk of metabolic syndrome with all its harmful effects on health. There insulin sensitivity and fasting insulinemia should be part of the criteria to be assessed for define metabolic normality in obese subjects.
