Results: There were significant decreases in body weight from 70.0±6.3 to 65.4±5.8, in body fat mass from 23.2±3.9 to 19.2±3.8, in body mass index from 26.7±2.7 to 25.0±2.4, obesity index by relative weight from 121.8±12.2 to 113.9±11.1. (body weight, body mass index, obesity index by relative weight : p < 0.05, body fat mass : p < 0.001). Edema index was significantly decreased from 30.2±6.4 to 25.2±4.9 (p < 0.01). Fatigue index was also decreased from 64.9±16.2 to 54.5±11.4 (p < 0.05).
