  Objective: Serum ferritin is a sensitive and key indicator of iron accumulation, and serum ferritin levels can be elevated due to risk factors for many diseases. Obesity is a manifestation of metabolic dysfunction, and our study purpose was to assess the relationship between body adiposity indexes and serum ferritin level and estimate risk. Materials and methods: A total of 227 Mongolian men between the ages of 30 and 60 participated (45.5 ± 8.4 years) in the study and were classified as normal ferritin, hyperferritinemia, and iron overload based on serum ferritin levels. Results: Anthropometric measurements that indicate obesity and indexes that indicate visceral adiposity, lipid accumulation, and insulin resistance increased significantly in the groups with an increased ferritin level (p<0.0..
