Abstract: This study compared obese and severely obese adolescents in relation to the effects of a multidisciplinary intervention on hypertriglyceridemic waist (HW) phenotype. Subjects consisted of 44 adolescents, aged between 10 and 18 yrs of age. They were divided into two groups: obese group (n=25) and severely obese group (n=19). Both groups underwent a multidisciplinary intervention in which body composition, waist circumference, and triglycerides levels were assessed before and following the intervention. Following the 16-wk intervention, we observed a reduction in the prevalence of HW phenotype in both groups (-24.0% OG; -10.5% in SOB; P=0.901 between the groups). Changes in body composition were similar between the groups. The findings indicate that the multidisciplinary program decreased the prevalence of HW phenotype and improved body composition similarly between obese and severely obese adolescents.
