The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) is increasing among the elderly, and new lifestyle-based treatment strategies are warranted. We conducted a randomized, double-blind controlled trial of the effects of aquatic exercise (AE) and/or consumption of burdock root extract (BE) on body composition and serum sex hormones, i.e., testosterone, estradiol, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S) in elderly women with MS. The percentage of abdominal fat was decreased in the AE group. Waist circumference was increased in the control (CON) group, but not in the other groups. SHBG and estradiol levels were enhanced by both AE and BE and correlated with changes in fat-related body composition. DHEA-S levels only increased in the BE group, which was consistent with changes in lean body mass. Testosterone levels decreased in the CON group, which correlated with changes in lean body mass, skeletal muscle mass, body fat, and waist circumference. Our findings suggested that the combined AE/BE intervention exerted no synergistic and/or additive effects on any sex-related outcome measures in elderly women with MS.
代谢综合征(MS)在老年人中的发病率正在增加,需要新的基于生活方式的治疗策略。我们进行了一项随机、双盲对照试验,研究了水疗(AE)和/或牛蒡根提取物(BE)对患有 MS 的老年女性的身体成分和血清性激素(即睾酮、雌二醇、性激素结合球蛋白(SHBG)和硫酸脱氢表雄酮(DHEA-S)的影响。AE 组的腹部脂肪百分比降低。腰围在对照组(CON)中增加,但在其他组中没有增加。AE 和 BE 均能提高 SHBG 和雌二醇水平,并与脂肪相关的身体成分变化相关。DHEA-S 水平仅在 BE 组中增加,这与瘦体重的变化一致。CON 组的睾酮水平下降,与瘦体重、骨骼肌量、体脂肪和腰围的变化相关。我们的研究结果表明,AE/BE 联合干预对患有 MS 的老年女性的任何与性别相关的结果指标均无协同和/或相加作用。
