Dancing is a mode of physical activity that may allow older adults to improve their physical function, health, and well-being. However, no reviews on the physical benefits of dancing for healthy older adults have been published in the scientific literature. Using relevant databases and keywords, 15 training and 3 cross-sectional studies that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. Grade B-level evidence indicated that older adults can significantly improve their aerobic power, lower body muscle endurance, strength and flexibility, balance, agility, and gait through dancing. Grade C evidence suggested that dancing might improve older adults' lower body bone-mineral content and muscle power, as well as reduce the prevalence of falls and cardiovascular health risks. Further research is, however, needed to determine the efficacy of different forms of dance, the relative effectiveness of these forms of dance compared with other exercise modes, and how best to engage older adults in dance participation.
舞蹈是一种体育活动方式，可能有助于老年人改善身体机能、健康状况和幸福感。然而，科学文献中尚未发表关于舞蹈对健康老年人身体益处的综述。通过使用相关数据库和关键词，对15项符合纳入标准的训练研究和3项横断面研究进行了综述。B级证据表明，老年人通过跳舞可以显著提高有氧能力、下肢肌肉耐力、力量和柔韧性、平衡能力、敏捷性和步态。C级证据表明，跳舞可能会提高老年人的下肢骨矿物质含量和肌肉力量，并降低跌倒发生率和心血管健康风险。然而，还需要进一步的研究来确定不同舞蹈形式的功效、与其他运动方式相比这些舞蹈形式的相对有效性，以及如何最好地让老年人参与舞蹈活动。
