Abstract

Background

Qigong exercises – including Baduanjin training (BT)- are complementary exercises usually practiced in patients with chronic diseases to improve their quality of life.

Objectives

This clinical trial performed on older sufferers with metabolic syndrome (MS) and chronic periodontal disease (PD) aimed to investigate the effect of Baduanjin training on elders' periodontal health, salivary proinflammatory indicators, and salivary anti-oxidative markers.

Methods

Fifty elderly (27 men and 23 women) with MS and chronic PD participated in this trial. Patients' ages ranged from 65 to 78 years old. Older patients were randomly and equally assigned to Baduanjin training group (BTG) or non-trained waitlist control group. BTG received 60-min BT sessions five times weekly. The primary outcome of this trial was periodontal disease index. Secondary outcomes of this BT trial were interleukin 1-beta, interleukin-6, total antioxidant status, superoxide dismutase, and the simplified oral hygiene index (SOHI).

Results

All screened parameters of the control group did not significantly change (p > 0.05). All screened parameters (except SOHI) of BTG significantly improved (p < 0.05) after 6-month BT.

Conclusion

BT could improve periodontal health by enhancing PD-associated salivary proinflammatory markers and oxidative stress in elderly with MS and PD.

八段锦运动对老年代谢综合征和牙周病患者唾液炎症和氧化标志物的影响：一项随机试验

气功练习——包括八段锦训练（BT）——是一种辅助练习，通常用于慢性病患者，以提高他们的生活质量。目的研究八段金训练对老年代谢综合征（MS）合并慢性牙周病（PD）患者牙周健康、唾液促炎指标及抗氧化指标的影响。方法老年MS合并慢性PD患者50例（男27例，女23例）。患者年龄从65岁到78岁不等。老年患者随机等分分为八段锦训练组（BTG）和非训练候补组。BTG每周接受5次60分钟的BT课程。该试验的主要终点是牙周病指数。这项BT试验的次要结果是白细胞介素1- β、白细胞介素6、总抗氧化状态、超氧化物歧化酶和简化口腔卫生指数（SOHI）。结果对照组各筛选参数无显著变化（p > 0.05）。BTG治疗6个月后，除SOHI外，所有筛选指标均显著改善（p < 0.05）。结论BTG可通过提高老年MS伴PD患者唾液促炎标志物及氧化应激水平改善牙周健康。
