Introduction: To assess the effectiveness of treatment of obesity using complex integrated approach. In the treatment of obesity were used: instructions of patient in healthy eating habits, diet, taking medication that reduces fat absorption – lipid-adsorbent tablets, polyglucosamine (L112). Survey of patients was conducted. The received data were analysed.
Description of methods: 61 obese patients (18 males and 43 females) were followed up for 12 weeks. Mean age 48.2±9.2 years; BMI 34.9±5.21 kg/m2. BMI, waist circumference (WC) measurements, visceral fat content (%) before and after treatment were measured. Levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), LDL cholesterol (LDLC), and HDL cholesterol (HDLC) were also measured.
Results: Followed up patients reached weight loss by 3.7%, in BMI of 1.31 kg/m2, WC decreased by 4.15 cm, visceral fat by 0.68%. Metabolic parameters improved. The maximum effect was achieved among the patients with university education, stable job, motivation to lose weight and among those that were keeping a food diary.
Conclusion: An integrated approach in treatment of obesity is effective and consists of education of patients, presence of motivational reasons to lose weight, level of education, adherence to the principles of healthy eating and receiving supplementary medication to reduce fat absorption.
