About
Overweight and obesity is prevalent among women of reproductive age (25-34 years) with 42% having a BMI > 25 kg/m2. Weight gain increases the risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The amount of weight regain postpartum can shift women from the healthy weight category into the overweight or obese BMI categories. Purpose: This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of ultra-sound Cavitation versus radiofrequency on abdominal fat thickness on postnatal women
Full description
Fifty overweight primipara women at 6 months postnatally aged from 20-35 years, BMI (25-29.9) kg/m2 and have waist hip ratio (WHR) > 0.8. They were assigned randomly into 2 equal groups: Group (A) received ultra-sound cavitation40 KHz applied for 30 min, once time weekly for 8 weeks. Group (B) received radiofrequency multi-polar 5MHZ applied for 30 min, once time weekly for 8 weeks. Both groups received the same diet program throughout the treatment period. All females in both groups were assessed through weight scale for body weight, tape measurement for waist/hip ratio and ultra-sonography for fat thickness of abdominal region before and after treatment
