A Low-fat Diet Combined With Moderate-intensity Aerobic Exercise Versus Low-fat Diet, Aerobic Exercise Alone on Dyslipidemia and Depression Status in Obese Patients

Overview

It was defined that exercise and dietary interventions are used to control dyslipidemia and depression in obese individuals, whilst rare investigations have examined the concurrent effects of a low-fat diet and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise training (MIAET) on dyslipidemia and depression in obese patients. Hence, we assessed the potential influences of a low-fat diet combined with MIAET on blood lipids and depression in those individuals.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Body Mass Index
    • Time Frame: 10 weeks
    • The height and weight were assessed using an electronic digital scale and consequently BMI was calculated
