Constipation frequency was investigated among 1897 subjects (874 males and 1023 females), ranging in age from 6 to 70 years, chosen at random between city inhabitants and farmers. Bowel habit was studied in 966 obese patients (390 males and 576 females). The authors followed for the diagnosis of constipation either the commonest and restrictive criterion of the weekly bowel actions or the clinical one which implies also others parameters, like hard or small stools, difficulties of expulsion or feeling of incomplete evacuation after defecation. The statistical analysis showed that constipation frequency is 8.3% in obese patients and 1.5% in normal-weighting, according to weekly bowel actions criterion: the difference is statistically significative (p less than 0.001).
The authors studied the behaviour of blood glycerol concentration after glycerol i.v. infusion in obese and normal subjects. The aim of research was to clarify the meaning of blood glycerol increase observed by some one in obese subjects. Results obtained showed that in obese subjects there is not any abnormal behaviour of blood glycerol concentration after infusion and that in none of patients studied was observed any significative increase of basal blood glycerol concentration values.
