Outline of Final Research Achievements

To investigate the effects of exercise and/or nutritional supplementation on body composition and physical function in community-dwelling elderly Japanese women with sarcopenic obesity. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of four intervention groups. The exercise and nutrition, and exercise only groups attended 60-minute exercise classes twice a week for 3 months. The exercise and nutrition, and nutrition only groups were provided with essential amino acid supplementation and tea fortified with catechins to be taken daily for 3 months. Significant between-group and time interactions were observed in walking speed (P=.012), stride (P=.004), step length (P=.003), number of steps (P=.029), and vitamin D (P<.001). Although exercise and nutrition have beneficial effects on individual variables of body composition and physical function, improvements in muscle mass and variable combinations such as % fat and SMI or % fat and physical functions were not observed in this population.
