The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of auricular acupressure on reducing obesity in adult women with abdominal obesity.
The study design was a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Participants were 58 women, aged 20 years or older, assigned to the experimental group (n=30) or control group (n=28). Auricular acupressure using vaccaria seeds was administered to the experimental group. The sessions continued for 8 weeks. Outcome measures included body weight, abdominal circumference, and body mass index, body fat mass, body fat percentage, triglyceride, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and serum glucose.
Women in the experimental group showed significant decreases in body weight (t=6.19, p<.001), abdominal circumference (t=4.01, p<.001), and body mass index (t=2.58, p=.006) after 8 weeks compared with those in the control group.
Results show that auricular acupressure using vaccaria seeds was effective in decreasing body weight, abdominal circumference, body mass index, and triglyceride levels in adult women with abdominal obesity.
本研究旨在探讨耳穴按压对减少成年腹型肥胖女性肥胖程度的影响。
本研究设计为非等效对照组前后测设计。研究对象为58名年龄在20岁及以上的女性,分为实验组(n = 30)和对照组(n = 28)。实验组采用王不留行籽进行耳穴按压。疗程持续8周。观察指标包括体重、腹围、体重指数、体脂肪量、体脂肪百分比、甘油三酯、总胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇和血糖。
与对照组相比,实验组女性在8周后体重(t = 6.19,p <.001)、腹围(t = 4.01,p <.001)和体重指数(t = 2.58,p =.006)均显著下降。
结果表明,采用王不留行籽进行耳穴按压对降低成年腹型肥胖女性的体重、腹围、体重指数和甘油三酯水平有效。
