We investigated the metabolic disorders or hypertension in the obese in the executive annual medical chekup, and followed up the obese for 10 years. Results: The obese were found 19.2% in women and 17.7% in men. In women the age was not different by the obese degree but the more obese were the younger in men. In obese women the degree of obesity correlated with the frequency of metabolic disorders and hypertension. In contrast, the obesity did not correlated with metabolic disorder in men. After ten years follow-up of these obese persons, obese women were hard to reduce their fat body mass and developped more the metabolic disoders or hypertension. On the other hand, obese men improved the obesity and the risk of metabolic disorders or of hypertension. Conclusions: These suggest the difference of the obese charcteristic between women and men.
