GroupInterventionDescription
exercise groupExercise educationexercise education: A 12-week regimen of home-based walking exercises, include moderate intensity 30 minutes of exercise in week 1-4,40 minutes of exercise in 5-8 weeks,50 minutes in the 9-12 week,three times weekly in three month.We explained the participants how to perform the exercises, according to an instruction manual for the exercise regimen. Participants were instructed that the exercises would be effective only if they reached 65%-70% of the target Maximal heart rate(HRmax).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Waistline and Waist to hip ratio3rd month after recruited

using a tape to measure Waistline and Waist to hip ratio.

BMI3rd month after recruited

using bioelectric impedance(BIA) to measure BMI.the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters(Kg/m2)

objective body composition index3rd month after recruited

using bioelectric impedance(BIA) to measure body composition

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Short Form 36(SF-36)3rd month after recruited

The SF-36 provides scores for each of the eight health domains and psychometrically-based physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores.the scores ranging from 0 to 100. the higher the score, the better the quality of healthy living.
