简要总结
- A total of 60 overweight women (BMI 25-29.9 kg/m²), aged 18-50years, will be enrolled and randomized equally into intervention and control groups. The intervention group will consume a 5 g freshly prepared seabuckthorn aqueous infusion daily for 12 weeks, while controls maintain usual habits without supplementation.
- The seabuckthorn aqueous infusion will be prepared by using 250mL of potable boiled water and then cooled to a lukewarm temperature (around 40-45°C). At this point, 5 g of seabuckthorn powder will be added, stirred thoroughly until fully dispersed, and consumed immediately. The infusion will be freshly prepared once daily and administered in the morning after breakfast.
Measurements will be conducted using the InBody 270, a validated bioelectrical impedance analyzer employed in this study to obtain accurate assessments of body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio, and visceral fat levels. The device offers segmental analysis and visceral fat estimation through non-invasive, standardized procedures, ensuring consistency and reliability in longitudinal tracking.
详细描述
Background: Overweight and obesity have become major public health challengesdisproportionately affecting adult women worldwide, including Pakistan. Functional foodsare gaining attention for their preventive and therapeutic potential, with Sea buckthornemerging as a promising option due to its rich bioactive composition which exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipid-regulating properties. This research, therefore, seeks to evaluate the effects of sea buckthorn consumption on female body composition, exploring its role as a nutritional intervention for weight management and metabolic health. Hypothesis: Participants consuming sea buckthorn aqueous infusion showsignificant declines in BMI, body weight, visceral fat, and waist-hip ratio. Methodology : A total of 60 overweight women (BMI 25-29.9 kg/m²), aged 18-50years, will be enrolled and will be randomly allocated to intervention and control groups. Theintervention group will consume freshly prepared seabuckthorn aqueous infusion dailyfor12 weeks, while controls maintain usual habits without supplementation. Data analysis : Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 25. Baseline characteristicsbetween groups will be compared using Descriptive statistics (mean ± SD) as appropriate. Between-group comparisons differences will be analyzed using ANOVA. Statistical significance will be set at p < 0.05. Outcome : Supplementation with seabuckthorn aqueous infusion over a 12-weekperiodwill result in notable improvements in body composition measures among overweight female adults.
