Abstract
People living with HIV (PLWH) are physically inactive and risk cardiometabolic dysfunction. Home and community exercise (HCE) is pragmatic, cost-effective and improves health in varied chronic conditions. This review aimed to synthesize evidence on the effectiveness of minimally supervised HCE for physical activity (PA), adiposity, quality of life (QoL), and other physical and psychological health indices for PLWH.
Methods
Databases were searched for studies published January 2000 to April 2023. Risk of bias in experimental and quasi-experimental studies was assessed with the Cochrane Risk-of-Bias for Randomized Trials and Risk-of-Bias in Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions tools, respectively. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted.
Results
From 9648 records, 13 studies (14 HCE groups) with 857 PLWH (average ages 29-56 years) were included; 12 comparator and one single group trial. Aerobic and strength HCE significantly improved PA relative to control by 0.377 units (95 %CI = 0.097, 0.657; p = 0.008) and 1097steps/day (95 %CI = 39.27, 2156.62; p = 0.042). There was a reduction from baseline in percent body fat of 3.36 % (95 %CI = -6.10, 0.42; p = 0.025), but no change in BMI (−0.21 kg/m2; 95 %CI = -0.67, 0.24; p = 0.351) relative to control. HCE improved QoL relative to control in the physical domain by 13points (95 %CI = 6.15, 19.86; p < 0.001), but not in other domains like general health (6.6points; 95 %CI = -1.19, 14.36; p < 0.097). HCE completed at moderate intensity or higher was associated with improvement in outcomes more so than lower intensity HCE. Walking-only interventions were at least as beneficial as other activities. No adverse events were recorded.
Conclusion
Minimally supervised HCE can improve PA, body fat, physical QoL and other health indices in PLWH.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1972 by Ernst Wynder, Preventive Medicine is an international scholarly journal that provides prompt publication of original articles on the science and practice of disease prevention, health promotion, and public health policymaking. Preventive Medicine aims to reward innovation. It will favor insightful observational studies, thoughtful explorations of health data, unsuspected new angles for existing hypotheses, robust randomized controlled trials, and impartial systematic reviews. Preventive Medicine''s ultimate goal is to publish research that will have an impact on the work of practitioners of disease prevention and health promotion, as well as of related disciplines.
