Abstract :Aim: To obtain information about future metabolic risks by evaluating the effects of abdominal obesity on body composition and peptide hormones (adropin, ghrelin, obestatin), which are obesity markers, in healthy individuals. Material and Method: The study was conducted with a total of 69 participants aged 25-52 years who applied to Amasya Gumushacıkoy Public Hospital. Anthropometric measurements and body composition analysis were performed in the same center and obesity markers were studied in Amasya University Faculty of Science and Letters Laboratory. Results: In the abdominal obese group, BMI, waist circumference, body fat ratio, visceral fat rating and obesity degree were higher, while skeletal muscle ratio, serum adropin and ghrelin levels were lower compared to the control group. Body Mass Index (BMI) and body fat ratio were negatively correlated with adropin, obestatin and ghrelin levels, while waist circumference and visceral fat rating were only negatively correlated with ghrelin levels. Conclusion: Significant differences were found in the data between the two study groups, and anthropometric measurements and body composition were found to correlate with one or more of the obesity markers. It is thought that these results will contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between these hormones and obesity and metabolic risks in the future.
