Study Overview
Brief Summary
The problem of tinnitus (subjective type) is prevalent in obese older adults with different diseases such as metabolic syndrome. The changes of lifestyle are very important to lose weight, improve tinnitus and metabolic syndrome
Detailed Description
Sixty older adults (with metabolic syndrome with chronic subjective tinnitus) with obesity were selected in a equal random manner to be classified into the first group that administered changes in their lifestyle (exercise applied on treadmill and low caloric diet) for twelve successive weeks and second group that was not administered lifestyle changes
