Objective: Obesity is a major global health concern due to its rising prevalence and association with chronic diseases. This study aimed to assess the sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, biochemical test results, and vitamin levels of patients attending an obesity clinic. Methods: A total of 157 patients seeking medical support for weight loss and meeting the study criteria were included. The study was conducted between October 2016 and December 2018 at the Obesity Clinic of Konya Training and Research Hospital. Participants' sociodemographic data, physical examination findings, and anthropometric measurements, including height, weight, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), and blood pressure, were recorded. Blood samples were collected after 12 hours of overnight fasting and analyzed on the same day. Results: The study included 139 women (88.50%) and 18 men (11.50%), with a mean age of 35.32±12.61 years. The proportion of married individuals was significantly higher in the obese group (p=0.002), as was the prevalence of chronic diseases (p=0.021). Obesity was less common among individuals with at least a high school education (p<0.001). The obese group had significantly higher values for age (p<0.001), WC (p<0.001), HC (p<0.001), systolic blood pressure (p=0.008), glucose (p<0.001), cholesterol (p=0.010), triglycerides (p=0.001), and LDL (p=0.007). Among obesity grades, age was highest in grade 3 obesity (p=0.003), diastolic blood pressure was higher in grade 2 than in grade 1 (p=0.008), and vitamin D was significantly lower in grade 3 than in both grade 1 (p=0.012) and grade 2 (p=0.037). Insulin resistance was found in 109 participants (69.87%). Those with insulin resistance had higher triglyceride, AST, and ALT levels and lower HDL (p<0.001 for all). Insulin resistance was more common in men (p=0.002) and those with chronic diseases (p=0.003).
