Table 4.

Comparison of changes in body weight, BFP, T-CHO, and TG between the two participant groups with a low or high BMI.

Mean, S.D. BMI > 25 (n = 17)
BMI < 25 (n = 50)
Before After Rate (%) Before After Rate (%)
Body weight (Kg) Mean 69.6 * 62.5 10.2 57.6 * 51.3 10.9
S.D. 5.7 5.8 3.3 5.8 5.3 3.4
BFP (%) Mean 36.2 * 31.1 # 14.0 29.4 * 22.7 # 23.2
S.D. 3.1 3.5 7.5 4.5 5.2 10.5
T-CHO (mg/dl) Mean 215.2 * 195.9 8.2 220.2 * 206.9 5.6
S.D. 42 33.9 9.0 43.4 53.7 14.4
TG (mg/dl) Mean 106.3 *71.9 20.2 99.2 * 83.6 10.9
S.D. 58.8 32.9 38.4 63.7 78.2 39.3

* Indicates a significant difference from the before-value (p < 0.01 or 0.05).

# Indicates a significant difference between the same symbols (p < 0.05).

The mean value and standard deviation (SD) in “rate” are obtained from the average of the decrease rate in each subject.

BFP = body fat percentage; BMI = body-mass index; n = number of subjects; rate = decrease rate from pre-OHCP to post-OHCP; SD = standard deviation; T-CHO = total cholesterol; TG = triglyceride.
