Key result
A 3-year randomized lifestyle intervention of diet and aerobic exercise versus diet alone improved anthropometric parameters, physical capacity, and nutrition associated with increasing adiponectin.
Why the study?
Does a combination of hypocaloric diet and aerobic exercise increase adiponectin levels compared to diet alone in patients with abdominal obesity?

Does a combination of hypocaloric diet and aerobic exercise increase adiponectin levels compared to diet alone in patients with abdominal obesity?
A 3-year lifestyle intervention combining a hypocaloric diet with aerobic exercise significantly increases adiponectin levels and improves metabolic parameters in patients with abdominal obesity compared to diet alone.
Supports combined diet-exercise programs over diet alone for abdominal obesity; extends adiponectin biomarker evidence from shorter lifestyle RCTs.
The paper studied nutritional habits, physical loads, anthropometric and metabolic perfromances, and revealed the changes required to increase the level of adiponectine under drug-free modalities of treatment of patients suffering from abdominal obesity. A 3-year randomized lifestyle intervention trial was performed in 153 patients with AO, age 30-53 yrs, 74 patients (group 1) performed individual hypocaloric diet balanced in fat intake, 79 patients (group 2) performed diet and individual aerobic exercise All patients received individual recommendations on changing their life style. Dynamics of anthropometric, metabolic parameters, physical capacity and adiponectin level were measured. Relation between low level of adiponectin and some metabolic disorders, and sedentary life were revealed. The rate of improving anthropometric parameters, physical capacity, and nutritionassociated with increasing adiponectin was established.

Beresina et al. (2015) conducted an RCT in abdominal obesity (n=153). Diet and individual aerobic exercise vs. Individual hypocaloric diet balanced in fat intake was evaluated on Dynamics of anthropometric, metabolic parameters, physical capacity and adiponectin level. A 3-year randomized lifestyle intervention of diet and aerobic exercise versus diet alone improved anthropometric parameters, physical capacity, and nutrition associated with increasing adiponectin.
