abstract = {We assessed the effects of a 16-week primary-care-based exercise program on body
composition in perimenopausal women. The women (n = 150) were randomized into control (n = 75)
or exercise (n = 75) groups. Exercise was provided in a 16-week (60 min/session, 3 days/week)
concurrent program. Body composition was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
These are secondary analyses of the FLAMENCO Project (Clinical Trials Reference NCT02358109).
In the intention-to-treat analyses, the control group showed no changes in body mass index (BMI)
between post- and pre-test, whereas the exercise group showed a 0.75 kg/m2 decrease in BMI (95%
CI: -1.29 to -0.22; p = 0.006). Gynoid and android fat mass in control group decreased by 98.3 g
and 46.1 g after the 16 weeks, whereas they decreased by 213 g and 139 g in the exercise group,
respectively (95% CI: -209 to -3.86; p = 0.042 and 95% CI: -164 to -26.9; p = 0.007, respectively).
The control group decreased their pelvis bone mineral content by 2.85 g in the post-test compared
with the pre-test, whereas the exercise group increased it by 1.13 g (95% CI: 0.93 to 7.81; p = 0.013).
Per-protocol analyses showed similar results. These analyses suggest that the exercise intervention
decreased fat depositions and BMI. Exercise might improve bone mineral content in specific areas
such as the pelvis.},
