Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of weight loss program in obese women by vital age, an index to comprehensively grasp health status. Subjects were 163 obese middle-aged women and were divided into two groups: Group D (n = 60) who followed a diet and Group DE (n = 103) who followed both a diet and exercise in a three-month weight loss program. Results before weight loss showed that vital age of obese middle-aged women was significantly higher than the chronological age, and in accordance with weight loss, vital age became significantly younger. In Group D, the significant difference between vital age and chronological age disappeared, and in Group DE, vital age became significantly lower than the chronological age. Differences between the two groups were observed in weight, BMI, body fat, abdominal girth, SBP, VO2LT and TG. This suggests that vital age in obese middle-aged women significantly became younger with weight loss by improving eating habits - an effect strengthened by exercise. Verf.-Referat
