Effect of Aerobic Exercise and Diet on Anthropometric and Hematological Measurements in Obese Anemic Women

Obesity and iron deficiency (ID) are two forms of the most usual nutritional disorders worldwide. Iron deficiency remains the most common nutritional deficiency and cause of anemia worldwide. Populations in the developing countries, premenopausal females, pregnant women, children, vegetarians and frequent blood donors are largely affected by iron deficiency due to low dietary intake, inadequate bioavailable iron, increased iron demand required for growth and development, iron losses and changes in blood volume. WHO recognized obesity as disease, which is prevalent in both developing and developed countries. Overweight and obesity are now so common and thereby replacing the more traditional public health concerns (under nutrition and infectious diseases) as some of most significant contributors to ill health. The aim of this study is to investigate effect of aerobic exercise and diet on obese anemic premenopausal women which not clarified previously. It will be hypothesized that: There will be no significant effect of aerobic exercise and diet on the anthropometric and hematological measurements in obese anemic women.
