| description | Background: The rise in overweight and obesity is a major public health problem in today's era. The main reasons are nutrition transition, urbanisation, westernisation, sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity. These interlinkage leads to modifications in physiological response via adipocytokines which are closely related to degenerative diseases. Objectives: The study aims to find out the percent change in biomarkers of weight gain among overweight and obese working women (respondents). Methodology: By purposive sampling technique, 32 respondents were selected and data were collected by interview schedule method. All respondents underwent 6 months of intervention programme i.e., dietary guidelines of following the hypocaloric diet suggested with dairy food products. Results: Anthropometric measurements showed a highly significant change among cases (P < 0.001). Among cases, systolic blood pressure showed a significant difference (P < 0.01) after 6 months. Biochemical parameters among cases showed significant changes among fasting plasma glucose (P < 0.01), fasting insulin (P < 0.05) and homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (P < 0.01). Significant changes were also observed among cases in biochemical parameters, i.e., total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), total lipids, non-HDL cholesterol, cholesterol HDL ratio and Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index(OUICKI) (P < 0.001). High-sensitive C-reactive protein, tumour necrosis factor alpha and adiponectin also showed significant change after 6 months (P < 0.001). Nutrient intake also showed statistically significant change after intervention (P < 0.001) except in the intake of phosphorus and calcium (P > 0.05). A positive correlation was noticed between systolic blood pressure with weight, body mass index, waist circumference, and percent body fat and between adiponectin and waist–hip ratio. HOMA-IR and QUICKI also showed a positive correlation with energy intake (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Incorporating a hypocaloric diet with dairy food products helps in harmonising the biomarkers of weight gain among respondents. |
