Objective: In order to investigated the level of blood glucose and its correction factors in children with the simple obesity.

Methods: The concentrations of fasting serum glucose were determined by  glucose oxidation enzymes method between 118 obese children and 118 normal controls.

Results: Compared with control group, the levels of blood glucose in obese group were higher, but no significant statistically. There were difference in blood glucose levels between boys and girls .The more severe the degree  of obesity was, the more significant the abnormanities of blood glucose were. The obese degree is positive associated with the levels of blood glucose. It is showed that there were significant differences in fasting glucose levels between central and non-central obesity groups. The levels of  blood glucose was corrected with skinfold thickness and waist/ buttocks rates.

Conclusion: there is abnormality of glucose metabolism in children with the simple obesity .It is significant in children with severe degree obesity and central obesity.
