Abstract

Background

Physical inactivity in older adults is strongly associated with a variety of health problems that may lead to cognitive decline and impaired physical and mental health. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of five different dances on cognitive function and quality of life in older adults.

Methods

seven databases were systematically searched. Two reviewers independently completed the screening, quality assessment and data extraction of the study. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) were calculated using the Network package in Stata software and network meta-analyses (NMAs) were conducted using Bayesian consistency models using the GeMTC package in R software.

Results

The NMA consisted of 28 studies involving 1967 older adults aged 60 years or older, focusing on five different types of dance interventions. The results of the NMA showed that only ballroom dancing significantly improved cognitive function (SMD = 0.89, 95 % confidence interval [CI] (0.07, 1.70)), whereas tango and folk dancing significantly improved balance (SMD = 1. 62, 95 % CI (0.50, 2.76), (SMD = 1.43, 95 % CI (0.15, 2.81)), while tango and self-created dance enhanced mobility (SMD = -1.42, 95 % CI (-2.60, -0.25), (SMD = -1.20, 95 % CI (-2.10, -0.37)). Furthermore, square dancing was the only intervention that significantly improved mental health (SMD = 1.11, 95 % CI (0.03, 2.31)).

Conclusion

Ballroom dancing and square dancing appear to be the most effective interventions for improving cognitive ability and mental health, respectively, while tango shows promise as an intervention for improving balance and mobility.

舞蹈干预对老年人认知功能、平衡、活动能力和生活质量的影响：系统综述和贝叶斯网络荟萃分析

背景：老年人缺乏身体活动与多种健康问题密切相关，这些健康问题可能导致认知能力下降和身心健康受损。本研究的目的是调查五种不同舞蹈对老年人认知功能和生活质量的影响。方法系统检索7个数据库。两名审稿人独立完成了本研究的筛选、质量评估和数据提取。使用Stata软件中的Network软件包计算标准化平均差（smd），使用R软件中的GeMTC软件包使用贝叶斯一致性模型进行网络元分析（nma）。结果NMA包括28项研究，涉及1967名60岁或以上的老年人，重点关注五种不同类型的舞蹈干预。NMA结果显示，只有交际舞显著改善了认知功能（SMD = 0.89, 95%可信区间[CI](0.07, 1.70)），而探戈和民间舞显著改善了平衡（SMD = 1）。62, 95% CI (0.50, 2.76), (SMD = 1.43, 95% CI(0.15, 2.81))，而探戈和自创舞蹈增强了活动能力(SMD = -1.42, 95% CI (-2.60, -0.25), （SMD = -1.20, 95% CI(-2.10, -0.37)）。此外，广场舞是唯一能显著改善心理健康的干预措施（SMD = 1.11, 95% CI(0.03, 2.31)）。结论交际舞和广场舞分别是改善认知能力和心理健康的最有效干预措施，而探戈在改善平衡和行动能力方面表现出良好的前景。

期刊介绍： Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics provides a medium for the publication of papers from the fields of experimental gerontology and clinical and social geriatrics. The principal aim of the journal is to facilitate the exchange of information between specialists in these three fields of gerontological research. Experimental papers dealing with the basic mechanisms of aging at molecular, cellular, tissue or organ levels will be published. Clinical papers will be accepted if they provide sufficiently new information or are of fundamental importance for the knowledge of human aging. Purely descriptive clinical papers will be accepted only if the results permit further interpretation. Papers dealing with anti-aging pharmacological preparations in humans are welcome. Papers on the social aspects of geriatrics will be accepted if they are of general interest regarding the epidemiology of aging and the efficiency and working methods of the social organizations for the health care of the elderly.
