Description
Abstract
Background/aim: Central obesity (CO) confers a great threat on the cardio-metabolic health of
the population. Central obesity is directly matched with increased visceral abdominal fat, and it is also
matched with endothelial dysfunction, insulin resistance, hypercholesterolemia, and cancer.
Purpose of the study: This study was designed to compare between the effect of ultrasound
cavitation and phosphatidylcholine iontophoresis on central obesity in hypertensive women.
Material and methods: It is a randomized controlled trial performed on 40 hypertensive centrally
obese females divided into two equal groups. Group (A) consisted of 20 females received
ultrasound cavitation, and Group (B) consisted of 20 females received phosphatidylcholine
iontophoresis. The primary outcome measures were waist circumference, visceral fat range,
systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Results: the results showed that there was a statistically
significant improvement in central obesity and hypertension in Group A, but there was a statistically
significant improvement in central obesity. Still, non-significant improvement in hypertension in
Group B. Improvement in Group A is more significant than in Group B regarding the percent of
the decline in WC, VFR, and DBP. Conclusion: there was an improvement in central obesity and blood
pressure in women after applying ultrasound cavitation and phosphatidylcholine iontophoresis
, with better results in ultrasound cavitation than phosphatidylcholine iontophoresis.
