[Effect of weight reduction on lipids and lipoprotein (a) serum levels].
OBJECTIVE
A quasi-experimental study to determine the effects of a body weight reduction treatment on lipids and lipoprotein (a) serum levels.


METHODS
Ponderal and lipidogram values were determined in 69 premenopausic obese women before and after treatment. Differences were determined at a given time and at intervals.


RESULTS
Apart from a high fasting HDLc, a reduction of the lipid values was observed.


CONCLUSIONS
Our results suggest that weight reduction modifies favourably the lipid profile in premenopausic obese women.
