The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ozone therapy as an adjunctive modality for weight reduction in grade II adult obese subjects. Subjects: thirty grade II adult obese subjects from both sexes had BMI 30-40. They ranged in age from 25 to 45 years. They were classified randomly into two groups of equal number. Group 1: fifteen patients received ozone therapy with diet. Group 2: fifteen patients received diet regimen only. Procedures: evaluation procedures in form of measurement of BMI and waist circumference pre treatment and after three months post treatment, and therapeutic procedures for group 1: ozone therapy with low caloric diet, for group 2: low caloric diet only. The results showed a statistically significant decrease in BMI, and waist circumference in both groups, with a higher rate of reduction in ozone with diet group. Conclusion: It could be concluded that ozone therapy can be used as an adjunctive modality for weight reduction in grade II adult obese subjects.
