چکیده
Materials and methods: Twenty-fi ve morbidly obese women (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40 kg/m2), 25 obese women (BMI 30–39.9 kg/m2), and 25 age-matched healthy women (BMI 18.5–24.9 kg/m2) were recruited for the study. None of the subjects had diabetes mellitus. BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, lipid profi les, fasting glucose and insulin levels, insulin resistance (by HOMA), and IMT (common carotid, internal carotid, and bifurcation measurements) were compared among the 3 groups and between obese and morbidly obese women.
