Abstract
Background: Obesity is still a main health problem in many countries. Obesity-related behaviors, such as low physical activity and unhealthy eating habits, tend to causes many problems, which highlights the need for early prevention from it. Objective: To explore the Interplay between obesity and healthy diet and exercise programs. As well to evaluate effect of 1 months of follow healthy life style on the status of GH and some biochemical parameters in obese subjects. Materials and methods: In this study, 40 individuals (20 obese and 20 non-obese male) from AL-Ramadi city during the period from April to May. Their age was 25-27 years old. Serum was taken to measure GH, and certain biochemical parameters and hormone, before and after applicate healthy diet and exercise program. Results: Serum the level of Insulin, FBG, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, LDL, BMI, weight and Fat showed significantly decrease, while there was significantly increase in GH, Vit D, HDL and protein, muscles after month from applicate the healthy diet and exercise program. Conclusion: In obesity, GH productions are reduced which are reversible with losing of weight, This is what was achieved through our results, therefore, growth hormone deficiency is considered a result of obesity and not a cause of it.
