The effect of a life style modification program on improving upper-body obesity for metabolic syndrome 'candidates'

我们制定了一项为期一年的基于网络的减肥计划，以评估男性员工的饮食摄入量和体力活动，并通过随机对照试验(RCT)测试其有效性。共有85名男性被随机分配到干预组(n=43)和对照组(n=42)。在基线检查时，两组之间的体重或腰围没有显著差异。一年后，尽管干预组的体重和腰围比对照组减少了更多，但两组的体重或腰围的平均值没有明显差异。

We developed a one-year web-based weight-loss program to assess dietary intake and physical activity in male employees, and tested its efficacy with a randomized controlled trial (RCT). A total of 85 men were randomly assigned either to intervention (n=43) or to control (n=42) groups .There were no significant differences between the groups in weight or waist circumference at the baseline examination. After one year, although the intervention group lost more weight and waist circumference than the control one, no significant differences were seen between both groups in the mean value of weight or waist circumference.
