Subjects: Thirty patients were randomly assigned into 2 equal groups participated in the study. group A with mean age of46.57±6.04 years, mean weight 83.92±5.07 kg, mean height 160.42±2.84 cm and mean body mass index (BMI) 31.28±2.84 kg/m2. group B with mean age of 47.54±9.39 years, mean weight 82.9±10.27 Kg, mean height 165.36±7.01 cm and mean BMI 30±5.11 Kg/m2.
