Metabolic and Weight Effects in Acute Lifestyle Changes

The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and laboratory results found in the database of an institution for the prevention, promotion and recovery of health. Clinical and laboratory parameters were observed during the examination of 458 medical records of patients who underwent a clinical program of acute lifestyle intervention, and what changes were produced by this treatment. The clinical parameters evaluated were body weight and waist circumference. In the statistical analysis, with statistical significance (p<0.05), there was an improvement in the biochemical indices studied in both groups, especially in the group with longer permanence, improvement in body weight, and there was also a significant improvement (p<0.05) in those with metabolic syndrome, among whom approximately 36% no longer had this condition. Acute lifestyle intervention reduced or reversed risk factors for coronary artery disease and the presence of metabolic syndrome.
