This study set out to investigate effects of healthcare smart-home exercise program, which adds the concept of exercise service to the healthcare-based smart home technology, on the metabolic syndrome risk factors of obese elderly women. The subjects include obese elderly women that were living in a permanent rental housing complex in K-gu, Seoul, had 30% body fat or more, and wished to participate in the healthcare smart home service. The subjects were divided into the exercise group of 21 persons(age: 77.19±6.94) and the control group of 13 persons(age: 74.08±6.73). The healthcare smart home exercise program was the combined exercise of aerobic exercise and resistance exercise and administered for 30~50 minutes per day three times a week for 12 weeks, and the metabolic syndrome risk factors of the subjects before and after exercise were measured. The author performed repeated measures two-way ANOVA for each variable at the statistical significance level of α=.05 to analyze the effects of exercise according to the test results. After 12 weeks of the healthcare smart home exercise program, there were significant interactions in waist circumference(p=.034), one of the metabolic syndrome risk factors, before and after the program and between the groups. In conclusion, the 12-week healthcare smart home exercise program was effective for improving abdominal obesity, one of the metabolic syndrome indexes, among obese elderly women.
