The purpose of this study was to determine if different diet and exercise programs differentially affect android and/or gynoid body composition changes in sedentary women. 127 sedentary women (46±12 yr, 45.5±5% body fat, BMI 35.1±5) were randomized to participate in a control group (C) or the Curves Complete® program with online support (CC), Weight Watchers® Points Plus (WW), Jenny Craig® (JC), or Nutrisystem® Advance Select™ (NS) weight loss programs for 12‐wks. DEXA body composition with android (A) and gynoid (G) measurements were obtained. MANOVA revealed a significant time (p<0.001) and group x time (p=0.006) effects. Participants in the CC group generally lost more A‐FM (C ‐8±421; CC ‐479±462; WW ‐162±410; JC ‐275±406; NS ‐237±456 g, p=0.01), A‐BF (C ‐0.3±2.6; CC ‐2.9±3.6; WW ‐0.4±3.7; JC ‐1.3±3.2; NS ‐1.2±2.5 %, p<0.04), G‐FM (C 73±335; CC ‐823±658; WW ‐392±458; JC ‐709±871; NS ‐430±631, p<0.001), and G‐BF (C 0.0±2.1; CC ‐3.3±2.9; WW ‐0.7±2.6; JC ‐1.6±2.4; NS ‐0.6±1.9 %, p<0.001) with less loss in G‐FFM (C 112±476; CC ‐10±605; WW ‐319±559; JC ‐285±451; NS ‐335±540, p=0.01). No significant differences were seen among groups in A/G ratio, trunk/leg body fat ratio, or trunk/leg lean mass ratio. Results indicate that different types of diets can differentially affect changes in A and G body composition. Grant Funding Source : Curves International, Inc. (Waco, TX)
