“…Another review on the effects of yoga on cardiovascular risk factors found effects of yoga on waist circumference and waist/hip ratio in high-risk groups but did not include other weight-related outcomes (Cramer et al, 2014b). Other reviews reported comparable effects (Chu et al, 2014b;Yang, 2007).…”

Introduction. Overweight and obesity are among the most important modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and premature death. The aim of this review was to systematically assess and analyze the effects of yoga on weight-related outcomes.Methods. Medline/PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library were screened through March 2015 for randomized controlled trials on yoga for weight-related outcomes in the general population or overweight/obese individuals. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool on the following domains: selection bias, performance bias, detection bias, attrition bias, reporting bias, and other bias.Results. Out of 445 records identified during literature search, 30 trials with a total of 2173 participants were included. No effects on weight, body mass index, body fat percentage or waist circumference were found. In studies with healthy adult participants an effect of yoga compared to usual care was found regarding waist/hip ratio (SMD =-− 1.00; 95% CI =-− 1.44, − 0.55; p b 0.001). In studies with overweight/obese participants only, effects relative to usual care were found for body mass index (SMD = −0.99; 95% CI = −1.67, −0.31; p = 0.004). Effects however were not robust against selection bias; and publication bias could not be ruled out. No intervention-related adverse events were reported.Conclusions. Despite methodological drawbacks, yoga can be preliminarily considered a safe and effective intervention to reduce body mass index in overweight or obese individuals.

“…Colaborando para a ideia de que é preciso identificar diversas estratégias para o controle de doenças cardiovasculares (30) . Para esta discussão apresentamos dados de outros estudos, no qual iniciamos destacando que uma meta-análise mostrou os benefícios do yoga sobre os fatores de risco para DCV, em valores com intervalo de confiança de 95%: PA sistólica (-5,85 mmHg) e PA diastólica (-4,12 mmHg), frequência cardíaca (-6,59 bpm), frequência respiratória (-0,93 rpm), circunferência da cintura (-1,95 cm), relação cintura/quadril (-0,02), colesterol total (-13,09 mg/dl), HDL (2,94 mg/dl), VLDL (-5,70 mg/dl), triglicerídeos (-20,97 mg/dl) (31) . Outras vantagens dessa intervenção estão evidenciadas em um estudo em que 42 idosos com sobrepeso realizaram essa prática no período de oito semanas, resultando na melhoria da capacidade física (83% dos participantes); redução do stress e ansiedade (83%); maior satisfação na qualidade do sono (21%); e reforçou padrões da dieta saudável (14%) (32) .…”

Objetivo: elencar estratégias não medicamentosas efetivas no controle das doenças cardiovasculares evidenciadas na literatura que subsidiem a prática clínica. Método: revisão integrativa com análise dos níveis de evidência e após o levantamento inicial de 2.338 publicações, 19 estudos foram incluídos. Resultados: identificou-se 12 estratégias não farmacológicas, sendo a maioria delas possíveis de serem realizadas por enfermeiros e demais profissionais de saúde, no qual todas as estratégias elencadas apresentam evidências clínicas bem descritas e comprovadas. As intervenções apresentaram ainda resultados efetivos na redução da morbimortalidade e na melhoria da qualidade de vida dos pacientes, com destaque para ações multifatoriais. Conclusão: há estratégias não farmacológicas que quando utilizadas de forma adequada, são clinicamente efetivas, no controle e na redução de danos das doenças cardiovasculares. Tais estratégias devem ser conhecidas por todos os profissionais que prestam assistência as pessoas com doenças cardiovasculares, a fim de oferecer a estes pacientes mais opções de cuidado, com menos efeitos colaterais. Descritores: Doenças cardiovasculares. Terapêutica. Protocolos clínicos. Terapias complementares.

“…Cramer és mtsai [12] 44 randomizált, kontrollált vizsgálat összegzéseként, amelyben 3168 nem diabeteses, de nagy kockázatú, valamint cukorbeteg személy adatait egyesítve azt látták, hogy a "szokásos kezelés"-sel vagy semmi intervencióval szemben a jógázókon található változások a következők: a szisztolés vérnyomás -5,85, a diasztolés -4,12 Hgmm, a pulzusszám -6,59/perc, a légzésszám -0,93/perc, a haskörfogat -1,95 cm, az össz koleszterin -13,09 mg/dl, a VLDL -5,70 mg/dl, a triglicerid -20,97 mg/dl, a HbA 1c -0,45%, az inzulinrezisztencia -0,19 csökkenést mutatott, míg a HDL-koleszterin +2,94 mg/dl-rel nőtt. Az edzéssel szemben a jóga a HDL-t nagyobb mértékben növeli.…”

A jóga növekvő népszerűsége indokolja a használhatóságról szóló tájékoztatást. Az összefoglaló tanulmányban az ősi megelőző-gyógyító célú jóga alkalmazásáról szóló közleményeket tekinti át a szerző. Egyértelműen alkalmazható a jóga teljessége a kardiometabolikus kockázati tényezők mérséklésére. Az étkezés és a psziché rendezésével, valamint a légző-és tartási gyakorlatok összességével elérhető a fizikai aktivitás javítása. A gyógyszeres és egyéb kezelések jó-gával történő kiegészítésének nincs ellenjavallata avatott jógainstruktor irányítása mellett. Hátrányos mellékhatást csak helytelen alkalmazáskor észleltek. Előnye az alacsony költség és a széles körben alkalmazhatóság, hátránya a jó-gaiskolák és a jógainstruktorok különbözősége. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(9), 323-327.Kulcsszavak: kardiometabolikus kockázati tényezők, hypertonia, ritmuszavarok, hatásmechanizmus Preventive and curative value of yoga in cardiometabolic diseasesYoga and other body-mind techniques enjoy an increasing popularity in many fields of health maintaining practices, in prevention of some illnesses and in curative medicine in spite of our incomplete knowledge about its applicability and effects. There are large differences among the various yoga-schools and the heterogeneity of indications etc. In this article a bucket of recent information is offered for the inquirers on the potential advantages of yoga (diet, mindexercises, asanas, pranayamas) for decreasing cardio-metabolic risk factors, stabilizing mental health, and its addictive use in curative medicine. Few adverse side-effects may occur only in the case of misapplication. Its advantages are low costs, availability for broad population, and very few contraindications. Disadvantages include differences in the ability of yoga instructors and in yoga practices.
