| Abstract Background: Central Obesity is one of the most common worldwide diseases afflicting humans. It is a major health problem throughout the world because of its high prevalence and its association with increased risk of cardiovascular and liver diseases. Aim of the Study: Was to determine the effect of ultrasound cavitation versus cryolipolysis on central obese patients. Subjects: Thirty (30) patients of both sexes, 15 men and 15 women. They were assigned into two groups equal in number. Their ages ranged from 45 to 55 years. Group A with mean age (50.47±3.31) years and Group B with mean age (49.47±3.89) years. Methods: Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist Circumference (WC) and abdominal fat percentage was measured before and after performing ultrasound cavitation and cryolipolysis sessions in both groups. Group A patients received ultrasound cavitation sessions for one month (8 sessions/patient), Group B patients received cryolipolysis sessions for one month (one session/patient). Results: The results revealed that there was statistically significant reduction in central obesity (BMI, abdominal fat% and WC) in both Group A and Group B. But there wasn't statistically significant reduction in central obesity (BMI, abdominal fat% and WC) between two groups. There was improvement in Group B than Group A. In Group A, the percentage of improvement for BMI, abdominal fat% and WC was 2.94%¯, 11.07%¯ and 5.59%¯, respectively. In Group B, the percentage of improvement for BMI, abdominal fat% and WC was 3.62%¯, 19.11%¯ and 4.68%¯ respectively. Conclusion: There was improvement in central obesity after applying ultrasound cavitation and cryolipolysis sessions with mild better results in cryolipolysis than ultrasound cavitation. | ||
