The neurovegetative state was studied by a questionnaire in 70 obese patients. In 61 of them frontal and distal thermometry with liquid crystal cholesterol thermoindicators was performed and the polarization currents of the hands were recorded. In 21.3% of the obese patients deviations in the thermoregulatory state were found. A tendency toward hypothermia of about 2 degrees C, localized predominantly in the medial frontal zone, was registered. Disturbances in the sudomotorics--hypo or hyperhydrosis--were found. The results show mixed and/or parasympathicotonic dystonia in the patients studied. Thermodiagnostics with liquid crystals and registration of the polarization currents are recommended as noninvasive methods for determination of neurovegetative disorders in obesity.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
