Brief Summary:
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of six weeks extracorporeal shockwave therapy (SWT) on truncal obesity and serum lipids in obese postmenopausal women
Detailed Description:
Truncal obesity occurs when the excess abdominal fat around the stomach and abdomen has accumulated to the point where it is likely to have a negative influence on health , increased visceral abdominal fat (VAF) is directly related to abdominal obesity (AO), which is also linked to endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, hepatic steatosis metabolic syndrome \[MetS\] and cancer.
High density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, often known as cardio protective cholesterol, increases in a hypoestrogenic state such postmenopausal status, whereas triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol levels fall The prevention of CVD and dyslipidemia depends on the management of truncal obesity, and the reduction of serum lipid levels.
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has lately been popular for treating fat-related disorders by altering the permeability of lipocyte membranes, improving blood flow and hastening macrophages' clearance of debris so cellulite, body contouring and localized fat can all be treated with the safe and non-invasive ESWT technology because to its mode of action in biological tissue In order to identify the best methods for treating abdominal obesity and prevent the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) in post-menopausal women. The current randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the effect of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (SWT) on truncal obesity and serum lipids in obese postmenopausal women.
