No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Background: This study examined the effects of different exercise modalities on body composition, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and cognitive function in obese older women. Methods: A total of 54 women aged ≥65 years were randomized to the control (CON), aerobic aquatic exercise (AAE), aerobic dance exercise (ADE), or combined aerobic and resistance exercise (AE+RE) groups.Results: Significant time-by-group interactions were observed for body weight (BW), body fat percentage (%BF), IL-6, and Korean version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE-K) scores.The AAE and ADE groups showed significant reductions in BW and %BF, and fat-free mass increased only in the AAE group (P<0.01).brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) increased in the AAE and ADE groups (both P<0.01), whereas IL-6 decreased in both groups (ADE, P<0.05; AAE, P<0.01).MMSE-K scores improved in all exercise groups, with scores in the AE+RE and AAE groups significantly higher than those in the CON group (P<0.001 and P<0.01, respectively).Conclusion: Moderate-intensity aquatic and dance-based aerobic exercise over 12 weeks improved both metabolic health and cognitive function in obese older women and was accompanied by reductions in IL-6 and increases in BDNF.
