Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Sobieum on decrease of BMI and obesity index of obese children.
Methods: 66 children (33 boys, 33 girls) were involved in this study. We measured height and weight for each time their visit, and calculated BMI and obesity index.
Results: After medication, BMI level and obesity index were significantly reduced (p<0.001).
Conclusions: We speculate that Sobieum is effective in the treatment of childhood obesity, and further controlled studies are needed with clinical cases of hematological evaluation.
