Summary

Almost postmenopausal women store significant extra visceral adipose tissue with unexplained mechanism, yet. Postmenopausal obese women with excess abdominal obesity have raised metabolic risk of numerous cardiovascular diseases, which negatively influence health policy concern. Therefore, actual need to recommend non-invasive approach that cover this lack of quantitative knowledge in clinical management of obese postmenopausal women.

Detailed description

Postmenopausal women are usually troubled by increasing weight and waist circumference caused by obesity and androcidal fat redistribution. Abdominal adiposity, defined as a waist circumference ≥88cm in women, measured in the upright position, plus significant elevated lipid profile values. In postmenopausal women, a higher level of physical activity was associated with a more optimal body composition, including lower adiposity and higher lean mass. Management of abdominal obesity involves different techniques i.e., dietary management, exercise therapy, even lifestyle management, and pharmacological management, and surgical interventions. Extracorporeal shockwave provides cavitation phenomena that may facilitate better management of abdominal obesity. Thus, current study will be conducted to investigate effect of extracorporeal shockwave on abdominal adiposity and lipid profile in obese post-menopausal women.
