Influence of dietotherapy enriched with conjugated linoleic acid on anthropometrical indicators and body composite structure in patients with an overweight
AbstractThe clinical efficiency of dietotherapy enriched with conjugated linoleic acid (3 g per day) in patients, suffering from the excess mass of a body and obesity of I and II degrees has been investigated. Dynamics of anthropometrical indicators and body composite structure before and after the treatment of patients from the main (n=20) and control groups were estimated. Studied parameters were fixed in day 0, 14 and 28. Statistically significant reduction of the weight, body mass index (BMI), anthropometrical parameters (volumes of a waist, hips, a shoulder), indicators of body composite structure (fatty weight, area of splanchnic fat, muscular weight) has been revealed as a result of the carried-out course of treatment, and they were more expressed in patients of the main group. In particular, the waist size authentically decreased by 6,5% in patients from the main group, while in patients from the group of comparison the decrease reached only 4,2%. Average change of waist volume was – 7,0 cm in the main group and – 4,5 cm in the control group. The grasp of hips in the main group decreased by 4,2%, in the group of comparison for 2,8%. Absolute change of hips volume in the main group 1,67 fold exceeded that in the group of comparison (р<0,005). The shin grasp in the main group decreased by 9,7%, while in the control group remained invariable. BMI decreased by 7,2% and 5%, respectively. Thus, the reduction of body fatty weight was 10% in patients from the main group and 4% in patients from the group of comparison. The body total liquid decreased by 1,4 l in the main group, and only by 0,3 l in the group of comparison. The received intergroup distinctions are statistically reliable (р<0,05).
