Result: comparing pre and post-treatment results, there was a significant improvement in body weight, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol after the treatment program than pre-treatment values.
