Studies on the weight rebound were studied with 60 women who had taken a 6-month course of a weightreduction program. These women were within 0.5 to 5.0 years after successfully participating in the program. The women participating in the program did not show any symptoms of serious diseases, except for those with simple obesity and a BMI score of higher than 25. Some of them experienced a significant weight rebound after completing the program. The present results indicate that those who gained weight failed to restrict their energy intake at meals, and also that their eating behavior tended to be greatly affected by outside stimuli. A further investigation randomly assigned the 60 women to 4 groups to find an effective way to prevent them from regaining weight. The first group was those subjects who did not make any effort at all during 6-month intervention period. The second group was regularly provided with intervention by telephone, the third group was provided with only information regarding diet and health through newsletters, and the fourth group was given the intervention by both telephone and newsletters. The treatment, which consisted of psychological support by oral communication as well as the constant offer of current news related to diet and health, seemed to be the most effective approach to control the weight of obese women.

The aim of this study was to investigate the features of overweight or obese individuals with a BMI >25 kg/m2 who complained of low back pain, knee pain, and neck stiffness. The subjects comprised 88 overweight or obese individuals who were divided into a symptomatic group and an asymptomatic group prior to the weight–loss intervention in order to compare several parameters of each group. Symptomatic patients were divided into groups of subjects whose symptoms did or did not improve as a result of the 6–month weight–loss intervention. Changes in the test paramete­rs from before and after the intervention were compared between the two groups. The results revealed no differences in any parameters between the two groups (symptomatic and asymptomatic) at baseline in neck stiffness or low back pain. However, for knee pain, the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) was significantly lower in the symptomatic group than in the asymptomatic group (p<0.01). Furthermore, the weight–loss intervention revealed a significant increase in VO2max in the “improved” group compared to the “no change” group (p<0.05). The study results showed that both weight loss and the acquisition of aerobic capacity were important in relieving knee pain in overweight or obese individuals.
