文摘

Body composition changes throughout the multimodal-lifestyle intervention of obesity is underinvestigated. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the multimodal-lifestyle intervention in reduction of fat mass together with preservation of fat free mass.

Methods

Adult male subjects with overweightness or obesity (n = 99) were enrolled in a prospective cohort study for 12 months. Patients were educated about healthy diet, physical activity, and some behavioral changes. Anthropometric measurements and body composition analysis by bioelectric impedance analysis (InBody-720) were reported before, during and after the study period.

Results

Concerning adherent subjects, the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) of percent weight loss, percent fat mass loss, percent fat free mass and total body water changes after 6 months were 7.24 ± 0.98, 16.28 ± 2.35, 0.76 ± 0.64 and 0.82 ± 0.65, respectively, and after 1 year they were 10.14 ± 0.78, 25.22 ± 3.59, 1.22 ± 1.06 and 1.27 ± 1.07, respectively. There were significant changes between before- and after-measurements of weight, BMI, waist circumference, fat mass and percent body fat (P < 0.05) for all studied intervals.

Conclusions

Multimodal-lifestyle intervention might be effective in loss of fat mass rather than reduction of the total body weight together with preservation of the lean body mass.
