OBESITY EVALUATION METHOD

摘要

Disclosed is an obesity evaluation method which can evaluate the condition of seeming obesity, occult obesity or obesity defined by BMI and VFA with high accuracy by utilizing, among the concentrations of amino acids in blood, the concentration of an amino acid associated with the condition of seeming obesity, occult obesity or obesity. The obesity evaluation method comprises measuring amino acid concentration data associated with the concentration values of amino acids in blood collected from a subject to be evaluated, and evaluating the condition of at least one of seeming obesity, occult obesity and obesity defined by BMI and VFA in the subject based on the concentration value for at least one of Glu, Ser, Pro, Gly, Ala, Cys2, Tyr, Val, Orn, Met, Lys, Ile, Leu, Phe and Trp included in the amino acid concentration data measured in the subject.
