Abstract

BACKGROUND

Obesity-induced dyslipidemia is one of the main factors contributing to morbidity and mortality associated with metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, and coronary artery disease among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

OBJECTIVES

This research aimed to assess the effect of adding laser acupuncture therapy (LAT) to a Pilates exercise program (PEP) and low-calorie diet protocol (LCDP) on blood lipids among 60 obese women with SLE.

METHODS

Study participants were women aged between 23 and 49 years, randomly assigned to one of two groups, A or B, each comprising 30 women. In addition to adherence to the LCDP, both groups were supervised five times weekly during 50-minute PEP sessions. Group A also received LAT three times weekly, with each session lasting 2 minutes on selected acupoints. After the 12-week intervention, plasma total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein were assessed.

RESULTS

Both groups demonstrated significant improvement in the aforementioned lipids after the 12-week intervention. A comparison between the post-intervention values of the lipids in the groups revealed a significant improvement favoring group A (the group that received LAT).

CONCLUSION

Adding a 12-week LAT regimen to PEP and LCDP significantly improved lipid profiles among 60 obese women with SLE.

摘要

背景

肥胖引起的血脂异常是导致代谢综合征、动脉粥样硬化和系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）患者冠心病发病率和死亡率的主要因素之一。

目的

本研究旨在评估在普拉提运动方案（PEP）和低热量饮食方案（LCDP）的基础上，增加激光针灸疗法（LAT）对 60 名肥胖 SLE 女性血脂的影响。

方法

研究参与者为年龄在 23 至 49 岁之间的女性，随机分为 A 组或 B 组，每组 30 名女性。除了遵守 LCDP 外，两组均每周接受 5 次 50 分钟的 PEP 课程监督。A 组还每周接受 3 次 LAT，每次在选定的穴位上持续 2 分钟。干预 12 周后，评估血浆总胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白、甘油三酯和低密度脂蛋白。
