Objectives: This research have been in order to study the effect of VLCD with herbal diet medication, Chegamuiyiin-tang (T?jia?nyiy?re?n-ta?ng), on body composition, body size, and bone mineral density (BMD).
Methods: This clinical retrospective research carried out in 127 cases of obese female outpatients with 1 month treatment. Bioelectrical impedence analysis (for body composition), body size and Z-score (for BMD) were estimated in pre-treatment and post-treatment to evaluate the effects of VLCD with Chegamuiyiin-tang (T?jia?nyiy?re?n-ta?ng).
Results:
1) After 1 month treatment, the weight (8.78±1.79%), fat free mass (2.78±2.59%), body fat mass (18.78±5.04%), and percent body fat (10.99±4.84%) were decreased.
2) The skeletal muscle mass was decreased. But, the percent body skeletal muscle and the Z-score for BMD was increased despite of weight reduction.
3) In the changes of body size, the waist circumference was the biggest and calf circumference was the smallest.
Conclusions: These results suggest that the effects of VLCD with Chegamuiyiin-tang (T?jia?nyiy?re?n-ta?ng) were to decrease weight mainly with not fat free mass but body fat mass.
