A Low-fat Diet Combined With Moderate-intensity Aerobic Exercise Versus Low-fat Diet, Aerobic Exercise Alone on Dyslipidemia and Depression Status in Obese Patients

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
It was defined that exercise and dietary interventions are used to control dyslipidemia and depression in obese individuals, whilst rare investigations have examined the concurrent effects of a low-fat diet and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise training (MIAET) on dyslipidemia and depression in obese patients. Hence, we assessed the potential influences of a low-fat diet combined with MIAET on blood lipids and depression in those individuals.
