“…According to the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2018, the prevalence of obesity for women over 19 years of age [% of people with a body mass index (BMI) of > 25 kg/m 2 ] was 25.5% and the prevalence of obesity increased with age, reaching 43.0% for those over 70 years of age [4]. Treatment of women's obesity in an aging Korean society is important for improving health, given that the BMI of women positively correlates with the risk of cardiovascular disease after menopause [5].…”

The purpose of this review was to evaluate the effectiveness of electroacupuncture treatment for women with “primary obesity.” Primary obesity is caused by an imbalance in energy intake and consumption due to abnormal eating and living habits in the absence of specific diseases causing the obesity. A literature review (up to December 2019) of randomized controlled trials (RCT) of electroacupuncture treatment for women with “primary obesity” was performed. Relevant clinical studies were retrieved from several databases, and interventions and results were analyzed. There were 6 RCT that fitted the inclusion criteria for this review. The intervention for the treatment group of the selected 6 RCT was electrical stimulation applied to acupoints. Interventions for the control groups included non-treatment, general acupuncture, and so on. Indicators for assessing treatment effects varied from study to study. Four out of 5 studies used body mass index (BMI) as an assessment tool and showed a significant decrease in BMI following electroacupuncture treatment. There were 4 studies using waist circumference as an indicator of abdominal obesity and these studies showed a significant decrease in waist circumference following electroacupuncture treatment. Electroacupuncture treatment used in primary obese women had a clinically significant effect, however, further RCT are needed.

“…As the average life span of the Korean people becomes 80.08 a little bit above than the average life span of the OECD countries of 78.90, our society is gradually converted to an aging society [1]. Particularly, as the average life span of the female population becomes 82.3, which is significantly higher than male population, the health problem in the elderly women is arisen as social issue [2]. Mun et al [3] suggested that there is difference in balancing ability according to the gender, and particularly, the balancing ability is decreased much more in the elderly women.…”

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of the intensive ankle joint strategy training on the muscular strength and balancing ability in the elderly women. The subject of this study were 30 elderly women aged from 65 to 80 and randomly assigned to three groups. For 6 weeks, two experimental groups took the training an hour every 3 days of a week. The results that measured the dynamometer, FRT, and SEBT after implementing general lower limbs exercise and the intensive ankle joint strategy training for 6 weeks showed that the changes in the control and experimental group I were not statistically significant while the changes in the experimental group II were statistically significant (p<.05). For the prevention of the elderlies from fall and the treatment approaches, it is deemed to be necessary additional studies on the diverse variables through the intensive training of the ankle strategy.

“…Loss of bone mass may also be associated with calcific plaques [10,11]. Further based on risk factors of coronary heart disease screening for the bone mineral density is already been proposed and discussed in the literature [12], there are various similar reports [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].

Sunlight and Vitamin D Linking Bones to Blood Vessels Via Mirroring Through Calcium Transit

Sunlight induces vitamin D (VitD) synthesis and strengthens bones via nitric oxide (NO), simultaneously it cleans blood vessels (improving endothelial function) and this is supported by calcium transit within the human systems. During winters (low ultraviolet index season) and even in summers (polar locations) humans lack adequate sunlight exposure thus mirroring osteoporosis (T score <2.5) and hypertension (SBP>140mm of Hg / DBP>90 mm of Hg) in general population. VitD is a hormone from the biochemical point of view because it is mostly synthesized in the skin under the direct action of natural UVR B. 7-dehydrocholestrol undergoes conversion in to Previtamin D which undergoes thermal isomerization within hours to form cholecalciferol.
