Background and the objective. Body composition changes throughout the multimodal-lifestyle intervention of obesity is underinvestigated. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the multimodal-lifestyle intervention in reduction of fat mass together with preservation of fat free mass.
Methods. Adult male subjects with overweightness or obesity (n = 99) were enrolled in a prospective cohort study for 12 months. Patients were educated about healthy diet, physical activity, and some behavioral changes. Anthropometric measurements and body composition analysis by bioelectric impedance analysis (InBody-720) were reported before, during and after the study period.
Results. Concerning adherent subjects, the mean standard error of the mean (SEM) of percent weight loss, percent fat mass loss, percent fat free mass and total body water changes after 6 months were 7.24 +/- 0.98, 16.28 +/- 2.35, 0.76 +/- 0.64 and 0.82 +/- 0.65, respectively, and after 1 year they were 10.14 +/- 0.78, 25.22 +/- 3.59, 1.22 +/- 1.06 and 1.27 +/- 1.07, respectively. There were significant changes between before- and after-measurements of weight, BMI, waist circumference, fat mass and percent body fat (P < 0.05) for all studied intervals.
Conclusions. Multimodal-lifestyle intervention might be effective in loss of fat mass rather than reduction of the total body weight together with preservation of the lean body mass.
