Daftar Isi:
- The objective of this study was to identify the effect of balanced low calory diet on resting energy expenditure (REE), respiratory quotient (RQ) and serum lipid profile of obese women in reducing morbidity and mortality of obese people. The study was done in Sumber Waras Hospital Jakarta in 2002. The study was an experimental, pre-and post-balanced low calory diet (1000 Kcals/day, 55% carbohydrate, 20% protein, and 25% fat) for 14 days. Thirty eight obese women, 19-55 years old had beed selected as subjects according to the inclusion ad exclusion criteria. The data collected were social and demographic characteristics, energy and macronutrient intake, anthropometric REE, RQ, level of serum cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. After 14 days balanced low calory diet, there were significant reduction o body weight 2.6% (p=0.001), body mass index 2.8% (p=0.001), percentage of fat mass 1.4% (p=0.001), increament percentage of fat free mass 1.4% (p=0.001), reduction of waist circumference 2.5% (p=0.001), unsignificant reduction of REE 4.4% (p=0.071), significant reduction of RQ 4.8% (p=0.036), level of total serum cholesterol 6.7% (p=0.001), triglyceride 22.9% (p=0.001), LDL cholesterol 4.2% (p=0.027) and HDL cholesterol 5.5% (p=0.004). Balanced low alory diet was ha beed shown to reduce body weight, body mass index, percentage of fat mass, to increase percentage of fat free mass, to reduce waist to hip ratio, RQ, level of total serum cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol of obese women significantly, but did’not reduce REE significantly.Keywords: low balanced calory diet, resting energy expenditure, respiratoey quotient, lipid, obes
