Effects of high-protein diet on body size and body composition of overweight/obese medical staff
Objective To examine the effects of high-protein diet on overweight/obese medical staff's body size and body composition.Methods A total of 83 overweight/obese medical staff recruited from the nutrition clinic of the hospital from June to December 2022 were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into two groups.The control group(n=39)received routine energy-limited dietary intervention,and the experimental group(n=44)received high-protein dietary in-tervention for 8 weeks.The changes of body size and body composition before and after intervention were compared between the two groups.Results The difference of body weight(-7.40±11.20)kg,body mass index(-2.39±3.14)kg/m2,waist circumference(-5.61±8.13)cm,body fat mass(-4.65±5.01)kg,body fat percentage(-3.13±4.17)％and visceral fat area(-20.84±24.41)cm2 of the experimental group before and after intervention were measured.The differ-ence of body weight(-1.52±4.16)kg,body mass index(-0.49±1.54)kg/m2,waist circumference(-1.23±4.39)cm,body fat mass(-0.57±2.19)kg,body fat percentage(-0.21±2.50)％and visceral fat area(-1.72±6.21)cm2 of the control group were measured.The differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion High-protein diet is more beneficial for improving body size and optimizing body composition in overweight/obese medical staff compared to con-ventional energy-limited diet.
