Thus, objective this systematic review meta-analysis was to investigate whether which extent PA changed from before during Covid-19 pandemic, taking age, gender, measurement method into account. The literature search conducted using PubMed, Web Science, Scopus. Results main characteristics were descriptively synthesized analyzed a quantifying effects divided by age groups, with additional subgroup analyses being narratively synthesized. Overall, 57 total sample size 119,094 participants (N between 10 60,560 subjects) 14 countries worldwide aged four 93 years included. Thirty-two revealed significant decline PA, whereas only five found increase pandemic. Fourteen mixed results. decreased all independent gender. Most self-reported device-based methods showed reduction PA. However, not be groups. Nevertheless, declining trend should noted strive enable within periods restrictions, or promote alternatives such digital training avoid health consequences population.

Metabolically healthy obesity: Inflammatory biomarkers and adipokines in elderly population

PLoS ONE, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 17(6), P. e0265362 - e0265362

Background and aims Obesity is linked to elevated levels of inflammatory serum markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa). Adiponectin resistin are adipokines related obesity. It has been described that adipose tissue presents a high production secretion these diverse pro-inflammatory molecules, which may have local effects on the physiology fat cells well systemic other organs. Our aim was evaluate impact lifestyle modifications, by following Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) program physical activity (PA) training, would biomarkers adipokine profile in Metabolically Healthy Obese (MHO) elderly population from Malaga (Andalusia, Spain). Subjetcs methods Subjects aged ≥65 years (65 87 old) with obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m 2 ) were included this study if they met ≤1 criteria: systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg and/or diastolic ≥ 85 mmHg; triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL; HDL-C <40mg/dL men <50mg/dL women; fasting glucose ≥100mg/dL. Selected subjects underwent personalized intensive modification. Anthropometric measurements, PA, MedDiet adherence, analytical parameters, analyzed after 12 months intervention. Results 166 MHO subjects, 40 (24.1%) male 126 (75.9%) female (p < 0.0001), 71.7±5.2 old study.
