%X Aim: Obesity is an important public health issue that is rapidly increasing in our country and around the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Turkey has the most cases of obesity in Europe with 29.5% prevalence in 2016. In this study, we aimed to perform obesity and diabetes prevalence of adult and childhood groups in our region based on patient records admitted to our hospital. Material and Methods: 3-year records of patients admitted to the Karabuk University Education and Research Hospital, diet outpatient clinic between the years of 2016 to 2018 retrospectively were examined the patient¡¯s body mass index (BMI) levels according to age and gender. Results: A total of 16,213 applications were determined in the Diet outpatient clinic for 3 years. These determined patients; the mean age was 40.99¡À17.73 years, 64.1% (n=10,383) was female. The 60.8% of patients under 18 years of age (n=660), 32.6% of patients are over 18 years (n=4,509) were admitted a diet to lose weight, 28.4% (n=3,926) for the specific diabetes diet. The mean of 13,997 people over 18 years of age were 32.17¡À8.25, 23.1% were overweight (BMI 25-29.99), 45.4% obese (BMI 30-39), 14.5% were morbid obese (BMI ¡Ý 40). The 2,428 females and 1,663 male patients were diabetic, and 1,705 of females were overweight, 4,374 obese, and 1,759 were morbid obese. While 1,534 of male patients were overweight, 1,835 obese and 270 were morbid obese, and of 3,887 diabetic patients had 897 overweight, 2,189 obese and 598 were morbid obese. Most of the patients who were over the age of 18 and BMI ¡Ý 25 were also diabetic; results indicate obesity and diabetes are in close relationship. Conclusion: Both children and adult obesity in our region are of serious proportions. Moreover, females are at greater risk than men in terms of obesity and diabetes. Despite the increase in public awareness, unfortunately the increase in obesity rate cannot be prevented
