Abstract : Obesity is the leading cause of death in worldwide, 1 in 8 population living with obesity in 2022. Obesity is leading cause that may increases the threat of non-communicable disease and effect on the individual’s quality of life such as sleeping or moving. To prevent from the complication, the lifestyle modification including exercise and dietary management is acceptable measure to reduce the obesity and its complication. To assess the effectiveness of nursing intervention on BMI and physical parameters 12 study are critically selected by using different database according inclusion criteria. The result shows that the physical exercise such as Zumba, Pilates, step aerobics, and resistance training significantly decrease BMI, enhance blood pressure, and improve glucose and lipid profiles among various populations. Aerobic training decreases body fat and BMI, whereas resistance exercise training enhances insulin sensitivity, particularly in diabetic patient. Together with diet counseling and behavior therapy as an intervention also lower obesity-related risks like hypertension and high cholesterol levels. In general, the incorporation of exercise with lifestyle change supports weight control, metabolic related health, and decreases risk of chronic disease. These results highlight the significance of combining exercise with dietary intervention and lifestyle change to secure total health benefits, stressing the role of individualized and continuous exercise regimens in controlling weight, improving metabolic function, and decreasing chronic disease risk at different ages and medical condition.
