Abstract

Background: In Taiwan's aging society, age-related sarcopenic obesity has gradually become an important health issue. Sarcopenic obesity is associated with functional limitations, falls, disabilities, mental health problems, and even mortality.

Purpose: The aim of this meta-analysis was to examine the effects of resistance exercise on body composition and physical functioning in older adults with sarcopenic obesity.

Methods: A search of randomized controlled trials was conducted in six electronic medical databases from their inception to December 2023.

Results: Twelve studies were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis, with results indicating a significant increase in grip strength (effect size=1.560, 95% confidence interval [CI]=[0.178, 2.941]; p=.027) and significant reduction in body fat percentage (effect size=-1.737, 95% CI=[-2.563, -0.912], p<.001) in the experimental group versus the control group. However, gait speed and body mass index were not significantly improved by resistance exercise interventions.

Conclusions: The findings support a positive effect of resistance exercise on grip strength and body fat percentage in older adults with sarcopenic obesity.

抵抗运动对老年肌肉减少型肥胖的影响：系统回顾和荟萃分析。

背景：在台湾的高龄化社会中，老年性肌少性肥胖已逐渐成为重要的健康议题。肌肉减少型肥胖与功能限制、跌倒、残疾、精神健康问题甚至死亡有关。目的：本荟萃分析的目的是研究抗阻运动对老年肌肉减少型肥胖患者身体成分和身体功能的影响。方法：检索6个电子医学数据库从建立到2023年12月的随机对照试验。结果：系统评价和荟萃分析纳入了12项研究，结果显示握力显著增加(效应值=1.560,95%可信区间[CI]=[0.178, 2.941]；p= 0.027)，体脂率显著降低（效应值=-1.737,95% CI=[-2.563, -0.912]）。结论：研究结果支持阻力运动对老年肌肉减少型肥胖患者握力和体脂率的积极影响。
