Minimally. Regular moderate-intensity walking for a period of 4 or more weeks minimally decreased total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels by about 7 mg/dL in women with overweight or obesity (strength of recommendation [SOR]: C, systematic review and meta-analysis on disease-oriented evidence). For adults ages 40 to 65 years, regular walking for 3 or more months inconsistently affected cholesterol and triglyceride levels (SOR: C, based on 3 randomized controlled trials [RCTs] with disease-oriented evidence).

IT'S UNCLEAR. High-quality data have not consistently established the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to improve symptomatic recovery in patellar tendinopathy, compared to placebo (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A, based on 3 small randomized controlled trials [RCTs]). The 3 small RCTs included only 111 patients, total. One found no evidence of significant improvement with PRP compared to controls. The other 2 studies showed mixed results, with different outcome measures favoring different treatment groups and heterogeneous results depending on follow-up duration.

Placebo injections actually improve lateral epicondylitis at high rates. No other injections convincingly improve it better than placebo.Corticosteroid injection is not superior to saline or anesthetic injection (strength of recommendation [SOR] A, systematic review of randomized controlled trials [RCTs]). Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is not superior to saline injection (SOR A, meta-analysis of RCTs).Botulinum toxin injection, compared to saline injection, modestly improved pain in lateral epicondylitis, but with short-term grip-strength weakness (SOR A, meta-analysis of RCTs). Prolotherapy injection, compared to saline injection, improved pain at 16-week, but not at 8-week, follow-up (SOR B, one small pilot RCT).Hyaluronic acid injection, compared to saline injection, resulted in a statistically significant pain reduction (6%) but did not achieve the minimum clinically important difference (SOR B, single RCT).Autologous blood injection, compared to saline injection, did not improve disability ratings (SOR B, one small RCT).
