Effects of an Obesity Control Program on Body Composition and Serum Lipid levels in Obese Elementary School Students

To elucidate the effects of an obesity control program on body composition and serum lipid levels, 31 obese elementary students (male: 25, female: 6) residing in the Gyeonggi area were evaluated and their body composition, serum total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and TG (triglyceride) were analyzed. The average age, height, weight and BMI (body mass index) were , , and for the males, respectively, and , , and for the females, respectively. There was a significant decrease in BMI for males (p
