Abstract

Metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) is a regular state in people with primary hypertension (HTN), obesity and physically inactive. To become and maintain a metabolically healthy overweight/obese (MHO) state should be a main treatment. The aims of the study were 1) to determine differences in metabolic profiles of overweight/obese, physically inactive individuals with HTN following a 16-week (POST) supervised aerobic exercise training (SupExT) intervention with an attentional control (AC) group and, 2) to determine whether the changes observed were maintained following six months (6M) of unsupervised time. Participants (n=219) were randomly assigned into AC or SupExT groups. All participants underwent a hypocaloric diet. At POST all participants received diet and physical activity advice for the following 6M, with no supervision. All measurements were assessed pre-intervention (PRE), POST, and after 6M. From PRE to POST, MUO participants became MHO with improved (P<0.05) total cholesterol (TC, ∆=-12.1 mg/dL), alanine aminotransferase ∆=-8.3 U/L), glucose (∆=-5.5 mg/dL), C-reactive protein (∆=-1.4 mg/dL), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and CRF compared to unhealthy optimal cut-off values. However, after 6M, TC, glucose, and SBP returned to unhealthy values (P<0.05). In a non-physically active population with obesity and HTN, a 16-week SupExT and diet intervention significantly improves cardiometabolic profile from MUO to MHO. However, after 6M of no supervision, participants returned to MUO. The findings of this study highlight the need for regular, systematic and supervised diet and exercise programs to avoid subsequent declines in cardiometabolic health.
