Anthropometric characteristics of included (N = 88), analyzed (N = 55) and complete follow-up (N = 35) patients with duodenal biopsies.
| N = 88 | N = 55 | N = 35 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (year) | 37.08 (9.42) | 37.09 (9.02) | 39.17 (8.23) |
| Weight (kg) | 114.15 (16.42) | 112.78 (14.41) | 109.74 (11.89) |
| BMI (kg/m2) | 42.31 (5.08) | 42.08 (5.02) | 41.26 (4.36) |
| Duration of obesity (year) | 14.54 (8.79) | 14.85 (8.5) | 13.96 (7.71) |
| waist/hip ratio | 0.91 (0.11) | 0.91 (0.11) | 0.89 (0.08) |
BMI: Body Mass Index. Data are expressed as mean and standard deviation, m (SD). The duration of obesity was determined according to weight history of the patient, the date of the beginning of obesity corresponding to the first known date with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 in adults and BMI Z-score ≥ 2 in children.
