Walking is an easily accessible daily exercise and effective non-pharmacological treatment for reducing obesity and the incidence of CVD. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of moderate intensity walking exercises on body composition, vascular inflammatory factors, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in postmenopausal women with obesity. Twenty-six older postmenopausal women with obesity (ages 68\u201372) were randomly assigned to control (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200912, BMI 26.06\u2009\u00b1\u20091.37) or exercise (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200914, BMI 26.04\u2009\u00b1\u20091.94) groups. Following a 12-week moderate intensity walking exercise program, we measured the participants\u2019 body composition with an InBody S10 analyzer and assessed blood sera using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. There was a significant clustering by weight (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.01), body mass index (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.01), percentage body fat (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05), interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05) being significantly decreased in the exercise group. Although VEGF levels did not change significantly, a tendency to increase was observed in participants that exercised. Our results indicate that walking exercise may help prevent CVD in postmenopausal women with obesity by reducing obesity and vascular inflammatory factors.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-023-47403-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,17]],"date-time":"2023-11-17T15:03:04Z","timestamp":1700233384000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Moderate intensity walking exercises reduce the body mass index and vascular inflammatory factors in postmenopausal women with obesity: a randomized controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Woo-Hyeon","family":"Son","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyun-Tae","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Byeong Hwan","family":"Jeon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Min-Seong","family":"Ha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"47403_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e506","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000000912","volume":"142","author":"SR El Khoudary","year":"2020","unstructured":"El Khoudary, S.
