RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To describe the contribution of changes in fitness and fatness resulting from exercise training on changes in submaximal exercise blood pressure (BP) during treadmill testing. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective, randomised, controlled trial. PARTICIPANTS: Sedentary older adults (n = 115) with untreated prehypertension or mild hypertension. INTERVENTION: Six-month supervised aerobic and strength training. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENT: Systolic BP (SBP) was assessed at rest and during each stage of a maximal graded exercise test (GXT) that determined Vo(2)peak. General and regional fatness was assessed by anthropometry, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and MRI. BP changes were calculated for each GXT stage, and multivariate regression models were used to describe the association of changes in exercise BP with changes in fitness and fatness. RESULTS: After training, exercisers versus controls had significantly increased Vo(2)peak and significantly lower measures of general and regional fatness. Also, stage-specific SBP was significantly lower at stage 3 (-9.4 vs -1.6 mm Hg, p = 0.03) and stage 4 (-7.9 vs -1.2 mm Hg, p = 0.03). Pooled regression analysis across all stages showed that exercisers had a 7.1 mm Hg reduction in SBP, but this reduction fell short of statistical significance (p = 0.12) compared with controls. A 1.0 ml/kg/min increase in Vo(2)peak and a 1.0 cm decrease in waist circumference independently predicted a 1.0 mm Hg decrease in exercise SBP (p = 0.04 and p = 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Decreased exercise SBP was independently associated with decreased waist circumference, a marker of abdominal obesity and increased fitness. These findings suggest that exercise training improves multiple factors that have an independent influence on SBP.

RESUMO

To summarize the influence of pre-existing diabetes on mortality and morbidity in men with prostate cancer. We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception through 1 October 2008. Search terms were related to diabetes, cancer and prognosis. Studies were included if they reported an original data analysis of prostate cancer prognosis, compared outcomes between men with and without diabetes and were in English. Titles, abstracts and articles were reviewed independently by two authors. Conflicts were settled by consensus or third review. We abstracted data on study design, analytic methods, outcomes and quality. We summarized mortality and morbidity outcomes qualitatively and conducted a preliminary meta-analysis to quantify the risk of long-term (>3 months), overall mortality. In total, 11 articles were included in the review. Overall, one of four studies found increased prostate cancer mortality, one of two studies found increased nonprostate cancer mortality and one study found increased 30-day mortality. Data from four studies could be included in a preliminary meta-analysis for long-term, overall mortality and produced a pooled hazard ratio of 1.57 (95% CI: 1.12-2.20). Diabetes was also associated with receiving radiation therapy, complication rates, recurrence and treatment failure. Our analysis suggests that pre-existing diabetes affects the treatment and outcomes of men with prostate cancer.
