Objectives: This study aims to confirm the importance of behavior habit and exercise, especially leg exercise in obese.
Methods: Out of 2247 people, we divided 1125 people in normal group(BMI<25) and 1122 people in obese group(BMI?25). We measured each arm, leg, abdomen muscle circumference and right and left water difference using BIA. We Investigated whether ratio of leg muscle circumference to arm and abdomen has differences by statistics between each groups. And analyzed correlation with BMI. We also investigated right and left water distribution difference of two group’s limbs and the correlation with BMI. Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS program.
Results:
1. In obese group, ratio of leg muscle circumference to arm and abdomen is significantly lower than normal group (P<0.001).
2. Ratio of leg muscle circumference to arm and abdomen were negatively correlated with BMI(r=-0.461, r=-0.462, P<0.001). And partial correlation coefficient controlled for age and sex is -0.528, -0.632(P<0.001).
3. In the case of women, there was right and left water distribution difference as statistical in leg. In the case of Obese, the difference is serious.
Conclusions: These results suggest that exercise and activity of lower limbs is more needed in the field of obesity treatment and prevention.
