ABSTRACT
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effects of Gamitaeeumjowee-tang on body weight and body composition in patients with sarcopenic obesity.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on 51 adults with sarcopenic obesity who registered for a weight loss program with Gamitaeeumjowee-tang for 12 weeks. Body weight, body composition including body fat mass and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index was measured before and after the intervention.
Results: A total of 51 patients were included in this study. After 12 weeks of treatment, the average weight loss rate was 6.52±3.4% (p<0.001) and body fat mass was significantly decreased by 15.85±8.4% (p<0.001). While fat free mass, skeletal muscle mass and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index showed no significant changes. The number of patients with sarcopenic obesity significantly decreased from 51 to 20 (60.8%, p<0.001). No serious adverse events were reported.
Conclusions: Gamitaeeumjowee-tang reduced body fat without compromising muscle mass in female patients with sarcopenic obesity. This suggests Gamitaeeumjowee-tang could be a promising treatment option, but further research including muscle strength assessments and additional interventions is needed.
