| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, comprehensive rehabilitation consisting of diet, exercise therapy, patient education, etc. was performed for severely obese patients, and the effectiveness was examined from various parameters. It was suggested that comprehensive rehabilitation for obese patients is effective in improving arteriosclerosis risk factors such as abnormal blood pressure and glycolipid metabolism, and improving respiratory function (vital capacity, expiratory reserve, functional residual capacity, total lung volume). There was no significant difference in weight loss depending on the type of exercise, and it seemed to be important to carry out exercise therapy suitable for individual patients considering safety.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
肥満症患者では合併症などにより運動療法を継続することが困難なことも多いが、食事療法・運動療法・患者教育を含めた包括的なリハビリテーション介入により、動脈硬化危険因子の改善や呼吸機能（肺活量、呼気予備量、機能的残気量、全肺気量）の改善に有効であることが示唆された。治療効果をフィードバックすることは患者の体重減量や運動療法に対するモチベーションの維持につながる。高度肥満患者に対する運動療法はリスク管理が重要となる為、運動療法を行う上での留意点などについて啓蒙も行った。
