Key result
Weight loss via a 12-week hypocaloric diet significantly reduced beta-stiffness index (-1.24 vs 0.52 U) and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (-187 vs 15 cm/s) compared to control (all P<0.05).
Why the study?
Does weight loss via a hypocaloric diet reduce arterial stiffness in overweight and obese middle-aged and older adults?

Hypocaloric diet weight loss reduces arterial stiffness; confirms dietary intervention efficacy in overweight middle-aged and older adults.
Dengo et al. (2010) conducted an RCT in Overweight and obesity (n=36). Weight loss via hypocaloric diet vs. Control was evaluated on Arterial stiffness (beta-stiffness index and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity) (p=<0.05). Weight loss via a 12-week hypocaloric diet significantly reduced beta-stiffness index (-1.24 vs 0.52 U) and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (-187 vs 15 cm/s) compared to control (all P<0.05).
