Multivariate analysis showed that the following admission clinical findings and laboratory results were independently associated with obesity; chills and rigors (AOR:2.653, 95% CI: 1.286–5.474), higher temperature (AOR:1.485, 95% CI: 1.080–2.042), higher systolic BP (AOR:1.057, 95% CI:1.037–1.078), raised haematocrit (AOR: 1.953, 95% CI: 1.010–3.778), elevated creatinine (AOR:3.504, 95% CI:1.351–9.008) and elevated ALT (AOR: 4.146, 95% CI:1.878–9.154). This evidence concerns the gene GPT and obesity disorder.
