| Abstract: | The body weight or body weight/height ratio exhibits a positive linear correlation to hair zinc (Zn) concentration which is more strongly positive in men than in women. The obese of both sexes possess higher Zn concentrations in their hair than those with normal body weight/height. The degree of obesity increases with the increase in the hair Zn concentration. |
