Gallstones are more common among women of reproductive age than in men; the gap narrows after menopause, notably in fatty, fertile, forty-year-old women. Gallstones are unexpected before the age of twenty, but they can arise within people of different ages. Several more cases go undiagnosed because they really should not show any evidence or symptoms and can only be discovered by abdominal ultrasonography at random. This research focuses on whether there is a link between BMI and Calcium, Lipid Profile as Cholecystitis risk factors. A case-control study was carried in Baghdad between the beginning of March and the end of August 2021. In this study, 90 people were enrolled, although only 60 were diagnosed with Cholecystitis. Data were acquired employing a questionnaire from all patients attending a private ultrasonography clinic with various complaints. There was a highly significant statistical relation (P – value0.001) between body mass index mean in Calculus Cholecystitis cases (30.07±5.26) and Acalculus Cholecystitis cases (29.02 ± 3.10), according to the findings. According to the findings, having a BMI of more than 25 is a decisive risk factor for gallstones. There is a connection between BMI and Acute Cholecystitis (Calculous Cholecystitis/ Acalculous). There is a significant increase in serum calcium in patients with Calculous and Acalculous Cholecystitis compared to controls, suggesting that serum calcium might be used as a biomarker for the disorder in Cholecystitis patients.}, keywords = {fertile,Cholesterol,Obesity,Ultrasound}, url = {https://www.echemcom.com/article_143424.html}, eprint = {https://www.echemcom.com/article_143424_18caa2d47a6e820eb3a331f04968c344.pdf} }
