Obesity is associated with risk factors of many diseases. Metabolic syndromes (MS) are linked with central obesity and may cause cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The energy intake and expenditure unbalancedly is the main cause of obesity. The most important of body weight control is to restrict calorie intake, modify dietary manner and keep doing exercise. The purpose of this study evaluated effect of 8-week body-weight-reduction program in 17 obesity subjects with body weight79.84±19.00kg,BMI30.36±4.84kg/m2, waist circumference 93.24±14.37cm,which preceded this approach by comparison of biochemical assessment, anthropometry, body weight and percentage of body fat, between pre and post weight reduction. The results showed that before the weight control program was administrated, After the weight control program, the biochemical characteristics which included total cholesterol,HDL,LDL,GPT and Cr were significantly improved;the body composition which included body weight, BMI, body fat, subcutaneous fat, isceral fat,lean body mass, waist circumference and hip circumference were also significantly improved. However, the improvement on indicators for metabolic syndromes before 8-week body-weight-reduction program is MS higher than, but after 8-week body-weight-reduction program MS subjects is no significantly improved ,non-MS subjects waist circumference and HDL were better than those in MS subjects. In conlusion, obesity could make abnormal of body composition and biochemical characteristics, and consider as a chronic disease with morbidity and motality. It is better to take diet control , exercise and modify intake behavior, could reduce body weight, improve body composition and biochemical characteristics, and more effects of psychological health.
