Obesity is a condition of increased adipose tissue in the body, which is commonly associated with various comorbidities like diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, back pain, and many others. Yoga modules have been designed and validated for obesity; however, we couldn't find any specific module for metabolic syndrome, a condition which includes obesity, diabetes mellitus type 2 and/or hypertension together. Keeping this in view, our study aimed to develop and validate a specific generic yoga-based intervention module for metabolic syndrome patients.
A yoga module was designed based on traditional and contemporary yoga literature as well as published studies. We derived the yoga practices for the module, from these yoga texts and research evidence were already available. The yoga module was sent to 40 yoga experts for their validation.
Twenty-two experts gave their opinion on the usefulness of a yoga module for patients with metabolic syndrome with some suggestions. Of these experts, 73% were males, and 27% were females. Yoga therapy practices with content validity ratio (CVR) >0.08 were included in the final module. In total, 86% (31 of 36 items) of the items in the initial module were retained.
A specific yoga-based module for metabolic syndrome was designed and validated by experts. Further studies are needed to confirm the efficacy and clinical utility of the module.Additional clinical validation is suggested.
肥胖是一种体内脂肪组织增加的状态，常与糖尿病、高血压、关节炎、背痛等多种合并症相关。已经设计并验证了针对肥胖的瑜伽模块；然而，我们找不到针对代谢综合征的特定模块，代谢综合征包括肥胖、2 型糖尿病和/或高血压。有鉴于此，我们的研究旨在为代谢综合征患者开发和验证一种特定的通用基于瑜伽的干预模块。
根据传统和当代瑜伽文献以及已发表的研究，设计了一个瑜伽模块。我们从这些瑜伽文本中得出了模块中的瑜伽练习，并且已经有研究证据支持。该瑜伽模块被发送给 40 位瑜伽专家进行验证。
22 位专家对代谢综合征患者瑜伽模块的有用性发表了意见，并提出了一些建议。这些专家中，73%为男性，27%为女性。具有内容效度比（CVR）>0.08 的瑜伽治疗实践被纳入最终模块。在初始模块的 36 个项目中，共有 86%（31 个）被保留。
通过专家设计和验证了针对代谢综合征的特定基于瑜伽的模块。需要进一步的研究来确认模块的疗效和临床实用性。建议进行额外的临床验证。
