Özet
Objectives: Obesity centers are the centers that provide patients with the right lifestyle changes and enable them to maintain their ideal weight. Our study aims to identify potential risk factors for obesity with the data obtained, and to present useful suggestions in this newly developing area by evaluating the effectiveness of the center trainings. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted between 01.11.2018-31.08.2019 at the Obesity Center of Health Sciences University, Konya Training and Research Hospital. This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study in which the data of 254 patients aged 18 years and over, whose BMI was 30 kg / m2, and whose admissions were approved by the center responsible physician and 5 different branch physicians, were evaluated retrospectively. Age, gender, educational status, social and marital status, reading culture, working and adaptation status, economic status, residence status and daily life status of the patients, attendance to the center, additional illness information and routine information were taken at the center for 3 months. Blood parameters were evaluated retrospectively and some of the parameters of patients with attendance to central education were compared with those of patients without attendance to central education. Results: 91.33% Of the patients included in the study were female and 8.67 % were male. When patients were evaluated according to BMI; 31.88% (n = 81) were mildly obese, 34.25% (n = 87) were moderately obese, 29.52% (n = 75) were morbidly obese and 4.35% (n = 75) were n = 11) super obese. While 56.29% (n = 143) of the patients were attending the central trainings, 43.71% (n = 111) did not attend the central trainings. When the attendance status of the patients in the obesity center were compared according to clinical and some laboratory parameters; the weight, BMI, body fat percentage, waist circumference, hip circumference, HbA1c, LDL and triglyceride mean values of the patients who attended the trainings regularly were compared to the third month values of the patients who did not attend the trainings. The mean HDL values of the patients who participated in the trainings were higher than those who did not participate in the trainings. Conclusion: As a result of our study, it has been determined that patients who attend the center regularly and lose weight more easily and have a significant improvement in blood and lipid parameters. It was found that the patients who attended the trainings regularly lost weight more easily and there was a significant improvement in blood and lipid parameters. We think that it is important to closely monitor the patients who apply to the obesity center in order to achieve the ideal weight and gain the right lifestyle habit. For this reason, it is one of the most important steps of obesity treatment that patients are encouraged to participate in in-group trainings and frequently invited to the center.
