Key result
A 3-month lifestyle intervention in obese adolescents produced a 34% increase in plasma adiponectin concentration (P=0.0004) alongside reductions in fat mass and inflammatory factors.
Why the study?
Does a physical activity-behavior-diet-based lifestyle intervention improve adiponectin concentrations and inflammatory factors in obese adolescents?
RCT (n=42)
Randomized
Does a physical activity-behavior-diet-based lifestyle intervention improve adiponectin concentrations and inflammatory factors in obese adolescents?
p-value: p=0.0004
A 3-month lifestyle intervention in obese adolescents significantly increases adiponectin levels and reduces subclinical inflammation and insulin resistance, potentially lowering future cardiovascular and metabolic risk.

Supports lifestyle programs in obese adolescents to lower future cardiometabolic risk; extends RCT evidence on adiponectin modulation.
Balagopal et al. (2005) conducted an RCT in Obesity (n=42). Lifestyle intervention (physical activity, behavior, diet) vs. Control was evaluated on Plasma adiponectin concentration (p=0.0004). A 3-month lifestyle intervention in obese adolescents produced a 34% increase in plasma adiponectin concentration (P=0.0004) alongside reductions in fat mass and inflammatory factors.
