The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of body fat reduction on the risk factors of metabolic syndrome(MS) [waist circumference, blood pressure, blood levels of triglyceride, HDL‐cholesterol and glucose]. The subjects were who has BMI ≥ 23 kg/m 2 , overweight or obese Korean women. Dietary intervention was carried out for 12 weeks. Anthropometric and dietary assessments (3‐days food records) were performed. Risk factors for metabolic syndrome were analyzed. The results of the study were as follows: 1) Body fat mass decreased significantly (24.7 ± 1.5 vs. 21.5 ± 0.8 kg) after intervention 2) waist circumference decreased significantly (86.8 ± 1.2 vs. 83.2 ± 1.9 cm) 3) Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were not changed. 4) Serum levels of TG decrease significantly (115.7 ± 12.2 vs. 99.4 ± 12.0 mg/dl). 5) Serum levels of HDL‐cholesterol did not changed. 6) Blood glucose levels did not changed. 7) Numbers of the subjects with MS decreased significantly after body fat reduction. 8) Number of the risk factors of MS decreased significantly after body fat reduction. These results indicate that reduction of body fat mass decreased significantly the risk of MS.
