Abstract
An open, comparative, randomized study of orlistat in the combined treatment of obesity in adolescents with metabolic syndrome
(IIIb phase) was held. Objective: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the orlistat in adolescents 12-17 years with high risk of cardiovascular
disease and type 2 diabetes. The study included 60 adolescents with obesity and metabolic syndrome. The main group (n=30)
followed a hypocaloric diet and aerobic exercises and took orlistat 120 mg 3 times daily with meals, the control (n=30) group was only
on the non-drug therapy. During the study the anthropometric parameters, lipid, carbohydrate metabolism, blood pressure were evaluated.
All comparisons were performed as two-way, with the critical level of significance ≤ 0,05. Results: After 6 months therapy of orlistat
68% of adolescents achieved clinically meaningful weight loss, that led to the improvement of metabolic parameters. On therapy body
fat decreased by -6600.00 g [-7912.00, -2350.00] in the control group, respectively -2235.50 g [-4700, 00; 667.00] (p=0.011). Orlistat
was well tolerated by patients. Most adverse events (9 of 13 in the intervention group) were mild and can be attributed to the expected
adverse reactions. Conclusion: The study demonstrated clinically significant efficacy (compared with the control group), combined with
good safety records of its use in adolescents 12-17 years old with obesity and metabolic disorders.
期刊介绍:
Journal "Obesity and Metabolism" is a multidisciplinary forum for clinical and applied research in the field of biochemistry, physiology, pathophysiology, genetics, nutrition, as well as molecular, metabolic, psychological and epidemiological aspects of obesity and metabolism. The main subject "Metabolism" reviewed in the journal, includes fat, carbohydrate, protein, bone, fluid and electrolyte and other types of metabolism in the spectrum of pathology of the endocrine system. The priority direction of Journal "Obesity and Metabolism" is publishing modern high-quality original research on the effectiveness of new and existing treatments in any aspect of metabolic and endocrine diseases. Pre-clinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetics studies, meta-analyzes, addressed to drug safety and tolerance are also welcome for publication in the journal "Obesity and metabolism." Journal "Obesity and Metabolism" announces review articles that are balanced, clear and offer the reader a modern and critical analysis of the literature on the subject of the magazine. Case reports, and lecture materials are also published for highlighting for practitioners new approaches to diagnosis and treatment of patients with metabolic disorders and obesity.
