Abstract in brief

The study compared the effects of diet alone versus diet combined with exercise on reducing abdominal fat in postmenopausal women, finding both methods effectively decreased subcutaneous and intraabdominal fat.
The group combining exercise with diet experienced a significantly greater reduction in subcutaneous fat, but there was no significant difference between the two groups in the reduction of intraabdominal fat.
Overall, a 6-7% weight loss through diet or combined methods was effective in reducing abdominal fat, with exercise adding extra benefit mainly for subcutaneous fat reduction.
