Obesity forms a growing challenge in medicine worldwide. In Jordan, the obese and the overweight population form 49.7% of the total population. The latest national male to female ratio in Jordan is 1:1.06. There is a relation between obesity and renal stone formation. This study is conducted to study the relation of renal stone and obesity in the Jordanian population. All patients with urolithiasis that attended the urology clinic at Prince Hussein Bin Abdullah Urology Center at King Hussein Medical Center, Jordan, over the period from January 2006 to January 2011 were included in the study and analyzed for age, gender, body weight, number of visits to the clinic and number of procedures. Over a period of 60 months from January 2006 through January 2011, 8346 patients were treated for urolithiasis. The median age was 43.2 years. The male to female ratio was 1.46:1. 42.3% of the patients were obese, with body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m 2 and 25.8% of the patients were overweight, with BMI >25 kg/m 2 . The normal body weight population formed 31.9% of the total population. The majority of our urolithiasis patients were obese and overweight, forming 68.1% of the population, with a higher number of clinical visits and higher number of surgical procedures. In the Jordanian population, there is a clear relation between obesity and stone formation, where the majority of stone formers was obese.
肥胖已成为全球医学界日益严峻的挑战。在约旦，肥胖和超重人口占总人口的49.7%。约旦最新的男女比例为1:1.06。肥胖与肾结石形成之间存在关联。本研究旨在探讨约旦人群中肾结石与肥胖之间的关系。2006年1月至2011年1月期间，所有在约旦侯赛因国王医疗中心侯赛因王子阿卜杜拉泌尿外科中心泌尿外科门诊就诊的尿路结石患者均纳入本研究，并对其年龄、性别、体重、门诊就诊次数和手术次数进行分析。在2006年1月至2011年1月的60个月期间，8346例患者接受了尿路结石治疗。中位年龄为43.2岁。男女比例为1.46:1。42.3%的患者肥胖，体重指数（BMI）>30kg/m²，25.8%的患者超重，BMI>25kg/m²。正常体重人群占总人口的31.9%。我们的大多数尿路结石患者肥胖或超重，占总人数的68.1%，门诊就诊次数和手术次数较多。在约旦人群中，肥胖与结石形成之间存在明显关联，大多数结石患者肥胖。
