Leptin and body mass index correlation in patients with meningomyelocele

Abstract

Aim: We aimed to determine the plasma leptin levels and the relationship between plasma leptin level and body mass index in patients with meningomyelocele. Material and Methods: Between the years 2008-2009, thirty patients who were previously diagnosed with meningomyelocele and 30 healty control group were enrolled for this study. The gender, age, weight, heigt, body mass index, presence of hydrocephalus, weight, heigt, body mass index percentiles according to age and gender were noted. Serum leptin levels were studied in both the patients and control group. Results: The mean age of patients was 42.1± 27 months and control group was 44.8±25 months. There was no significant difference between the patients and the control group in terms of body mass index which was >95% (p=0.052). The median leptin level was 0.1 ng/ml (0.04-7.8) in patients with a body mass index of >95%, 0.07 ng/ml (0.04-7.8) and in patients with body mass index of 95% and
