“…In a study conducted in Brazil, 83.7% of the 369 individuals had inappropriate WHR values and 85.4% were women and 89.7% were sedentary, 21 a fact that agrees with our findings. A study in our region showed prevalence of abdominal obesity for 49.7% in men and women, and was higher in women (more than double that in men) and increases with age progression, mainly from 50-year old, 20 being similar to our results that there was prevalence in all ages with higher emphasis from 40 to 59 years. Other research reports that there are greater risks for cardiovascular events with increased waist circumference, 22 indicating that women from our study have risk for developing chronic diseases, because they have high values on the WHR, BMI and body fat percentage, followed by high obesity rate.…”

(3) A fisioterapia dermato-Funcional é uma área da fisioterapia que vem desmistificando os tratamentos estéticos, uma vez que atua na comprovação científica dos métodos e técnicas utilizadas para o tratamento da adiposidade abdominal como a ultracavitação, o ultrassom, a radiofrequência e a eletrolipólise.
