Effects of Integrated Health Management Intervention on Overweight and Obesity

الملخص EN

Overweight or obese adults aged 20~55 years and living in Beijing more than one year were randomly divided into different management groups.

A one-year integrated health management intervention was applied in the health management groups.

The physical indicators and metabolic indicators changed after one-year intervention on the overweight and obese adults.

The annual reduction of the physical indicators was significant in all groups (p<0.05) except the weight loss in the placebo + general management group.

The health management and the dietary supplement have statistically significant (p<0.001, p<0.001) effects on the annual reduction of these indicators and interactive effect between them was found on some of these indicators such as bodyweight, body mass index (BMI), body fat ratio (BFR), and hipline (p<0.05).

The dietary supplement + health management group had the best annual reduction effects for the indicators among the groups.

Integrated health management interventions including both dietary supplements intervention and health management could improve metabolic indicators in overweight and obese adults together with the physical indicators, suggesting the intermediated role of metabolic indictors in controlling obesity.
