Overweight (OW) and obesity (OB) are risk factors for the metabolicsyndrome; and other frequent, serious and expensive chronic-diseases.There is not data regarding how OW and OB (i.e., body massindex, BMI≥ 25 Kg/m2) affect the biochemical profile in a populationof patients from San Luis capital, Argentina. Because of the particularnutritional habits in San Luis, we hypothesize that the nutritionalstatus in our population may cause a particular biochemical profileassociated with a higher-metabolic risk. In this study, the relationshipbetween nutritional status and biochemical profile is assessedthroughout a population-transversal study in 316 adult patients (18-80 years-old) residing in San Luis City, Argentina, during the period2015-2017. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were stated in anapproved IRB-protocol and informed consent was signed. Anthropometricdata including weight and height were acquired and theBMI was calculated. Biochemical profile was measured using a fasting-blood sample (n = 79) in which the following parameters weremeasured in plasma: triglycerides (TG, Normal Value (NV) 50 in women mg/dL), LDL-C (NV 70 to 130 mg/dL), glycemia (GL,
