Background and objective: A quasi-experimental study to determine the effects of a body weight reduction treatment on lipids and lipoprotein (a) serum levels.
Patients and method: Ponderal and lipidogram values were determined in 69 premenopausic obese women before and after treatment. Differences were determined at a given time and at intervals.
Results: Apart from a high fasting HDLc, a reduction of the lipid values was observed.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that weight reduction modifies favourably the lipid profile in premenopausic obese women.
