Effect of community-based lifestyle interventions on weight loss and cardiometabolic risk factors in obese elderly in China: A randomized controlled trial

Effects of 8-Weeks Concurrent Strength and Aerobic Training on Body Composition, Physiological and Cognitive Performance in Older Adult Women

“…This physiological and cognitive finding here is consistent with the relation that a good cardiovascular capacity has better performance in cognitive tasks in older [76,77]. There is strong evidence of RE improve different cognitive function [59,68,[78][79][80] same as inactivity and obesity are related to cognitive impairment [23,58]; also RE is shown as a maintaining cognitive function predictor in older [81]. In spite of this evidence, samples of most of these studies are with no healthy population, however research, even with healthy subjects, also showed cognitive benefits in RE [56].…”

“…According to total fat percentage it is important to highlight that this is directly associated to the lipid profiled (LP) [66] where active older have better LP compare to sedentary older [67]. Due to the RE, the total fat percentage is reduced and lot of elderly individuals research showed it [19,23,68]. All this intervention was long term intervention e.g., Cai lifestyle intervention [23] was 24 month; other research [19] also compare active (six moth minimum) and inactive older but in state program three times a week, one hour session between six months to five years.…”

But not only long term intervention has improvements also short term (12 weeks) studies showed total fat percentage reduction [65].…”

“…Better body composition is normally associated with regular PE, thereby previous research observed differences in body composition between PE trained older women and non-trained older women [5,[19][20][21]. There even exist differences between active and inactive older women in body composition [22,23]. The PE trained older women's body composition improvements are produced in mid-thigh cross-sectional area [24], weight loss [23] fat mass and BMI [19], statistical significant and non-significant body weight, skeletal muscle mass and fat mass [5,[21][22][23][24][25].…”

Some of these studies are cross-sectional studies and others are RE interventions from 24 weeks to 24 months.…”
