A total of 1068 patients (74.4% women) were enrolled in the study. The mean age was 42.1 years (standard deviation [SD] 11.9) and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 46.1 (SD 6.91). The onset of obesity occurred in 11.4% of patients during childhood, 47.2% during schooltime/adolescence, 41.4% in adulthood.

Women had lower haemoglobin levels, impaired iron status, lower albumin levels (<i>p</i> < .001), and increased C-reactive protein levels (<i>p</i> < .05).

Undiagnosed hypertension was more prevalent in younger women, and nutritional deficits were associated with high BMI in both genders. Older age and high BMI were associated with undiagnosed diabetes and decreased glomerular filtration rate in both genders, and with liver fibrosis in men.
