Lifestyle Intervention for Obese Women

Ju-Hee Nho. J Lifestyle Med. 2017 Jul.

Abstract

Obesity produces various physical and psychological health risks in women, including effects on reproductive health. In particular, the possibility of infertility in obese women is high. Lifestyle interventions involving nutrition education, physical activity, and stress management have been shown to be effective in improving the health of obese subjects. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and apply a lifestyle intervention program to promote reproductive health in obese women.
