In recent years, the prevalence of obesity is increasing due to the culture of dietary of West Country influencing. It has been an important public healthy problem in many countries.
Over the years, among the top 10 factors which causing the death in Taiwan, excepting suicide, there are all associated with obesity nearly. Moreover, the complications of obesity are diabetes, kidney disease…etc, has been causing expenditure of National Health Insurance loading year by year!
According to a report shown from National Healthy Insurance Administration in 2001; in Taiwan, among those people who had healthy insurance, 2.5% has classified diabetes. At meanwhile, the indication of administration; medication insurance costs of diabetes had occupied 11.5% in 1998.
A main objectives of this study was aim to healthy weight management center in south of Taiwan which is adopting noninvasive therapies. Balancing their diets and managing calories were the methods of this study. There were 125 members attended this study. Besides was designed the control group 56 participants for this study who were had taken body examination routinely and waist hip ratio records and had the same questionnaire with experimental group.
The items of assessment for this study were including: family history, life style, biochemical examination, and anthropometry. In order to analysis among those items-relation and make a statically analysis. The feature of this study we were interfere a specialty group of dietitians for weight management effectively plans. The reports of controlling under calories restricted plan were collected within two years, there were some significant observations after statistical examination:
1. Having the inherited diseases of diabetes and hypertension tends to being obesity easily.
2. People are relative to obesity that has those situations: without regular exercise, eating out and gut disorder
