Abstract
Physical frailty and hypertension are both highly prevalent among older adults. Furthermore, physical frailty may impact the risk-benefit ratio of pharmacological hypertension treatment. Thus, it may be prudent to focus on physical activity and exercise interventions to achieve better patient outcomes that addresses both conditions. This systematic review aimed to investigate the effects of exercise interventions on physical frailty components and hypertension-related outcomes in older adults with hypertension. PubMed/Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Cinahl and PEDro were searched for exercise trials in older adults with hypertension, measuring physical frailty or physical frailty components. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis protocol (PRISMA-P) and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale were used for internal validity. The searches retrieved 4965 titles without duplicates. Ninety-four potential full texts were evaluated, and 30 original studies were included in the review. Mean methodological quality of the included studies was 5.7 out of 10. Only one study measured frailty (using a cumulative deficit model) in older adults with hypertension. Different types of exercise training demonstrated improvements in components of physical frailty. This systematic review shows that there is no evidence whether exercise ameliorates the effects of physical frailty and hypertension and there is a need for more data to be generated.
期刊介绍:
With the rise in average human life expectancy, the impact of ageing and age-related diseases on our society has become increasingly significant. Ageing research is now a focal point for numerous laboratories, encompassing leaders in genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and behavior. Ageing Research Reviews (ARR) serves as a cornerstone in this field, addressing emerging trends.
ARR aims to fill a substantial gap by providing critical reviews and viewpoints on evolving discoveries concerning the mechanisms of ageing and age-related diseases. The rapid progress in understanding the mechanisms controlling cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival is unveiling new insights into the regulation of ageing. From telomerase to stem cells, and from energy to oxyradical metabolism, we are witnessing an exciting era in the multidisciplinary field of ageing research.
The journal explores the cellular and molecular foundations of interventions that extend lifespan, such as caloric restriction. It identifies the underpinnings of manipulations that extend lifespan, shedding light on novel approaches for preventing age-related diseases. ARR publishes articles on focused topics selected from the expansive field of ageing research, with a particular emphasis on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the aging process. This includes age-related diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. The journal also covers applications of basic ageing research to lifespan extension and disease prevention, offering a comprehensive platform for advancing our understanding of this critical field.
