Background :The effects of body weight, body composition, and blood lipids changes to blood coagulation response in obese women participated in community health promotion program (CHPP) was examined.
Methods :Women who had not participated in organized health program at least 3 months prior to the study, and had over 23.0 kg/m2, 80 cm of waist girth, or 25% of body fat (49.3±11.8 yrs, 158.2±4.7 cm, 72.9±13.3 kg, 28.9±5.3 kg/m2, 95.9±10.4 cm of waist girth, 37.3±5.1% body fat) were selected. Study lasted for 14 weeks consisted of pre-testing, 12 weeks of CHPP participation, and post-testing. A total of 117 participated and 54 completed the study. Their 10 hours fasting blood samples were collected in pre- and post-testings, and physical characteristics were measured. Aerobic capacity using step-test were conducted. Blood samples were analyzed for red blood cell, white blood cell, platelet counts, hematocrit, hemoglobin, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, and Factor-1. They were encouraged being active and to record their walking frequency using pedometer. CHPP were consisted of education sessions including pedometer guideline, optimal walking and stretching techniques, hiking skills, muscular strength training, gymnastics.
Results :Their body weight (2.2±4.4 kg), body mass index (0.7±1.0 kg/m2), body fat content (0.62±1.6%), mean arterial pressure (3.2±22.0 mmHg) were significantly lowered after 12-weeks of CHPP (P<0.05). Hematocrit (1.1±3.0), hemoglobin (0.4±1.0 g/dL), Factor-1 (34.8±71.5 mg/ml) were also significantly reduced (P<0.05). The magnitude of changes in total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly and positively correlated with the magnitude of changes in Factor-1 in diabetic women (P<0.05).
Conclusions :A positive outcomes were observed in body weight and body composition in middle aged obese women after participation of CHPP. And blood coagulation response related to physical activity was lowered after CHPP.
