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. 54 sedentary women (34±8 yrs, 35±6 kg/m 2 ) were randomized to participate in the Curves (C) or Weight Watchers (W) weight loss programs for 16‐wks. Participants in the C program followed a 1,200 kcal/d diet for 1‐wk and 1,500 kcal/d diet for 3 wks (30:45 CHO:PRO). Subjects then ingested 2,000 kcals/d for 2‐wks (45:30 CHO:PRO) and repeated this diet while participating in the Curves with Zumba program 3‐d‐wk. Remaining subjects followed the W point‐based diet program, received weekly counseling, and were encouraged to exercise. DEXA body composition with android (A) and gynoid (G) measurements were analyzed at 0 and 16 wks. MANOVA revealed a significant time (p<0.001) and group x time (p=0.004) effect. Both groups had similar changes in A‐FM (W ‐419±760, C ‐624±700 g, p=0.31), A‐BF (W ‐2.1±10, C ‐4.9±6 %, p=0.24), and G‐FFM (W ‐639±1,853, C ‐9±1,247 g p=0.16). Differences were seen in A‐FFM (W ‐313±614, C 49±403 g, p=0.02), G‐FM (W ‐395±1,657, C ‐1,398±1,728 g, p=0.03), G‐BF (W ‐0.6±8, C ‐4.2±6 %, p=0.06), and the lean index to height (W ‐2.4±4.6, C 0.5±1.5 kg/m 2 , p=0.005). Results indicate that different types of diets can differentially affect changes in A and G body composition Grant Funding Source : Supported by Curves International (Waco, TX)
