Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of ultrasound cavitation on postmenopausal abdominal fat. Thirty post-menopausal women, complaining from abdominal obesity were selected randomly from EL Mahalla El Kobra general hospital shared in this study. Their ages ranged from 45 to 55 years old, their body mass index ranged between 31.30 to 39.79 Kg/m2 and their waist hip ratio above 0.85. They were treated by ultrasound cavitation for 16 sessions, twice weekly for two months. Body weight, BMI, WHR and skin fold sickness were assessed before and after treatment. The obtained results showed a statistically highly significant decrease (P<0.0001) in body weight, BMI, WHR, skin fold thickness after treatment by ultrasound cavitation. Accordingly, it could be concluded that the ultrasound cavitation is very effective in reducing abdominal fat in postmenopausal women
