Abstract
Background: Central Obesity is one of the most common worldwide diseases afflicting humans. It is a major health problem throughout the world because of its high prevalence and its association with increased risk of cardiovascular and liver diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ultrasound cavitation versus cryolipolysis on liver functions in central obese patients. Subjects: Thirty (30) patients of both sexes with Body Mass Index (BMI) > 25 Kg\m2 and Waist circumference (WC) {u2265} 102 cm in men & 88cm in women, 15 men and 15 women were assigned into two groups equal in number. Their ages ranged from 45 to 55 years. group A with mean age (50.47 ± 3.31) years and group B with mean age (49.47 ± 3.89) years. Methods: Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), abdominal fat percentage and liver functions was measured before and after performing ultrasound cavitation and cryolipolysis sessions in both groups, The study period was 4 weeks. Every patient in group A received 8 ultrasound cavitation sessions, Every patient in group B received 1 cryolipolysis sessionanges in liver functions within its normal range
