To study the effect of a short-term yoga-based lifestyle intervention on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in overweight and obese persons.
Nonrandomized, single-arm interventional study conducted from August 2012 to March 2015 at Integral Health Clinic, Department of Physiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Overweight (body-mass index [BMI], 23-24.9 kg/m(2)) and obese (BMI, ≥25 kg/m(2)) persons (n = 279) aged 20-60 years.
Pretested yoga-based lifestyle intervention, including asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), relaxation techniques, lectures, group support, nutrition awareness program, and individualized advice.
Primary outcome measure was HRQOL, measured by using short version of World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire. Secondary outcome measures were anthropometric variables, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, lipid profile, and fasting glucose. A subgroup analysis according to sex was also performed.
The overall quality of life and health improved after short-term yoga-based lifestyle intervention in overweight and obese persons. Physical, psychological and environmental domain scores significantly increased from baseline to day 10, and efficacy was noted in both male and female subgroups. After 10 days of intervention, the following also decreased significantly: body weight, BMI, total body fat, waist and hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and fasting glucose.
A short-term yoga-based lifestyle intervention had a positive effect on HRQOL in overweight and obese persons.
研究基于瑜伽的短期生活方式干预对超重和肥胖人群健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）的影响。
2012年8月至2015年3月在印度新德里全印度医学科学研究所生理学系综合健康诊所进行的非随机单臂干预研究。
年龄在20至60岁之间的超重（体重指数[BMI]，23 - 24.9 kg/m²）和肥胖（BMI，≥25 kg/m²）人群（n = 279）。
经过预测试的基于瑜伽的生活方式干预，包括体式（姿势）、调息（呼吸练习）、放松技巧、讲座、团体支持、营养意识计划和个性化建议。
主要观察指标是HRQOL，采用世界卫生组织生活质量简表（WHOQOL - BREF）问卷进行测量。次要观察指标是人体测量变量、收缩压和舒张压、脉搏率、血脂谱和空腹血糖。还进行了按性别分组的亚组分析。
超重和肥胖人群在基于瑜伽的短期生活方式干预后，总体生活质量和健康状况得到改善。从基线到第10天，身体、心理和环境领域得分显著增加，男性和女性亚组均显示出效果。干预10天后，以下指标也显著下降：体重、BMI、全身脂肪、腰围和臀围、腰臀比、收缩压和舒张压、总胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白、甘油三酯和空腹血糖。
基于瑜伽的短期生活方式干预对超重和肥胖人群的HRQOL有积极影响。
