Effects of combined exercise on HOMA-IR, HOMA b-cell and atherogenic index in Korean obese female

摘要

The explosive increase in obesity is one of the most pressing health-related problems anywhere in the world. According to the report from the world health organization (WHO), 1.4 billion adults in the world are overweight. 200 million male and 300 million female adults over 20 years of age are obese [1]. However, the greater health concern with regard to obesity is the effects of obesity-related diseases such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome.According to the resources from national health interview survey (NHIS) the diabetic population of the US will increase to 39 million by year 2050, and by 2030 the diabetes population in the world will be over 370 million [2]. More surprising is that the rate is higher for the women in their 20s than those in their 30's, 40's [3].
