A cross-sectional survey was made of the 25 men and 127 women attending a hospital obesity clinic over a period of 6 weeks. Among the men the mean (+/- s.d.) age was 37 (+/- 14) years, weight 115.2 (+/- 25.4) kg, height 1.70 (+/- 0.09) m, and Quetelet's index 39.6 (+/- 6.4) kg/m2. Among the women the corresponding values were 41 (+/- 15) years, 102.2 (+/- 22.3) kg, 1.60 (+/- 0.07) m, and 40.3 (+/- 9.2) kg/m2. The most common reasons for wishing to lose weight among both men and women was to improve appearance, shortness of breath and pain in weight-bearing joints. About one-third of the patients tested had raised fasting plasma triglyceride levels. Only one had tests indicating hypothyroidism, and two were hyperthyroid. None of these characteristics predicted how long the patient would continue to attend the clinic. Weight loss was calculated according to the duration of attendance at the clinic, and the method of treatment. Two men and 15 women were treated by jaw-wiring, and the remainder by dietary advice alone. No anorectic or thermogenic drugs were used. Among men treated by diet alone the mean weight loss after 1-3 months, 4-6 months, 7-12 months and greater than or equal to 13 months attendance was 5.0 +/- 6.2 kg, 12.4 +/- 11.0 kg, 12.4 +/- 10.2 kg and 13.0 +/- 5.2 kg respectively. Two men treated by jaw-wiring had lost 23.9 and 57.9 kg.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
在为期6周的时间里，对一家医院肥胖门诊的25名男性和127名女性进行了横断面调查。男性的平均（±标准差）年龄为37（±14）岁，体重115.2（±25.4）千克，身高1.70（±0.09）米，体重指数为39.6（±6.4）千克/平方米。女性的相应数值分别为41（±15）岁、102.2（±22.3）千克、1.60（±0.07）米和40.3（±9.2）千克/平方米。男性和女性希望减肥的最常见原因是改善外貌、呼吸急促和负重关节疼痛。约三分之一接受检测的患者空腹血浆甘油三酯水平升高。只有一人检测显示甲状腺功能减退，两人甲状腺功能亢进。这些特征均无法预测患者继续就诊的时长。根据就诊时长和治疗方法计算体重减轻情况。两名男性和15名女性采用颌间结扎治疗，其余仅接受饮食建议。未使用食欲抑制剂或产热药物。仅接受饮食治疗的男性在就诊1 - 3个月、4 - 6个月、7 - 12个月以及大于或等于13个月后的平均体重减轻分别为5.0±6.2千克、12.4±11.0千克、12.4±10.2千克和13.0±5.2千克。两名采用颌间结扎治疗的男性体重分别减轻了23.9千克和57.9千克。（摘要截取自250字）
