This study was designed to clarify the difference in effects of exercise training and diet intervention on improvement in vascular function in obese patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia. After 12 weeks intervention, the arterial stiffness, HDL-C, aerobic capacity and middle thigh muscle area improved in only exercise training group. From our results, the lifestyle modification, especially exercise training was considered to be very important to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, these results suggest that the aerobic exercise training might be a good treatment to improve the vascular function in obese patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia.
