| Abstract | Background: Ghrelin is secreted by gastric cells to stimulate hunger. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the serum concentration of ghrelin and some anthropometric variables. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 90 healthy women. The serum ghrelin level was measured by ELISA method and data were statistically analyzed by Pearson analysis. Results: There was a significant correlation between the ghrelin level and age (r = -0.3; P = 0.000), body weight (r = -0.2; P = 0.03), BMI (r = -0.4; P = 0.001), and height to wrist ratio (r = 0.3; p = 0.004). Nevertheless, there was no significant correlation between ghrelin level and central obesity. Conclusions: It seems that serum ghrelin level is associated with height to wrist ratio in healthy women. | en |
