There is limited evidence on the effect of lifestyle interventions on adiposity markers within at-risk PMW. Therefore, this study aims to evaluates an 8-weeks of home-based, equipment-free, interval training (HEFIT) with or without Mediterranean-style diet (MD) on adiposity markers in physically inactive, postmenopausal women with overweight/obesity. Thirty PMW (56.7 ± 3.9 years, BMI: 30.5 ± 5.2 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) were randomly assigned to three groups: (i) Ex; HEFIT thrice weekly/week, (ii) EX + MD, or (iii) CTL; control. Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI), body weight, BMI, waist and hip circumference (WC; HC), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), total body fat percentage, leptin, and adiponectin were determined pre- and post-8-week intervention. There was no significant between group effect on VAI. Compared to CTL, a significant between group reduction was seen in weight, BMI, and WC in both EX and EX+D (p < 0.05). Leptin and adiponectin remained unchanged in all groups (p > 0.05). Adherence rates were 85% and 96% for EX and EX+MD, respectively, and 80% of EX+D of participants had optimal adherence to diet. Concluding HEFIT with or without dietary changes could improve adiposity in overweight/obese postmenopausal women."],"journal":["Physiological reports"],"pagination":["e70239"],"full_dataset_link":["https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11805804"],"repository":["biostudies-literature"],"pubmed_title":["Effect of home-based exercise with or without a Mediterranean-style diet on adiposity markers in postmenopausal women: A randomized-control trial."],"pmcid":["PMC11805804"],"pubmed_authors":["Dunseath G","Bracken RM","Churm R","Thomas RL","Prior SL","Tan A"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"Effect of home-based exercise with or without a Mediterranean-style diet on adiposity markers in postmenopausal women: A randomized-control trial.","description":"Advancing age and estrogen deficiency increases susceptibility of post-menopausal women (PMW) to abdominal obesity and manifestation of cardiometabolic disease.
