Overweight and obesity are defined as being overweight. This situation impairs the health status of both children and adults. In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of diet and exercise on obese children. The sample of this descriptive study was retrospectively collected with 30 patients who were admitted to the Aksaray University Pediatrics outpatient clinic between November 2019-December 2020 with complaints of weight gain / obesity. FITT (frequency, time, type, severity) exercise program was applied to the participants in the study in obese / overweight patients. Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), weight and routine blood tests were repeated for the patients who were called for control two months later. When the changes in HOMA-IR due to the weight differences of the patients were examined, a positive and significant correlation was found (r = 0.583; p = 0.001,). When the changes in HOMA-IR due to weight differences for male and female patients were examined, a positive significant correlation was found (r = 0.624; p = 0.013) and (r = 0.682; p = 0.005), respectively. A significant and positive correlation was found between triglyceride and HOMA-IR (r = 0.721, p = 0.001). When the relationship between HDL and HOMA-IR was examined before diet + exercise, there was a significant and negative correlation (r = -0.551, p = 0.002), and a significant and negative correlation after diet + exercise (r = -0.443, p = 0.014). There was no correlation between LDL and HOMA-IR (r = -0.234, p = 0.260). A positive and highly significant correlation was found between insulin and HOMA-IR (r = 0.981, p = 0.0001). Although no significant correlation was found between LDL cholesterol and weight loss (r=,-0.091, p=0.664), a significant decrease in LDL cholesterol levels after a 2-month family-based diet + exercise therapy approach was one of the important results found in this study (r=. 0.725, p=0.0001).
