RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Baduanjin is a traditional Chinese regimen involving flowing movements, breath control, and strengthening to benefit health and well-being. We investigated the effectiveness of Baduanjin for older adults with insomnia. METHODS: We assessed eight databases for methodological quality according to the Cochrane Handbook for Evaluation of Interventions, and analyzed by Stata 16.0 software. RESULTS: Participants (N = 789) of ten studies were included. The meta-analysis showed that Baduanjin was effective for older adults with insomnia as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)[WMD =-2.20, 95 %CI (-2.87, -1.74), P = 0.000], and 12 weeks or more of treatment effect was superior to <12 weeks. Moreover, there were significant differences in all dimensions of the PSQI between experimental and control groups. CONCLUSIONS: Baduanjin is a complementary therapy option for older adults with insomnia. However, high-quality research is still needed to investigate the optimal exercise intensity, duration and frequency for older adults with insomnia.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Loneliness is a powerful stressor for depression in older adults, and resilience and social support may mediate this relationship, while the evidence is limited. Hence, our study aims to explore the mediating role of social support and resilience between loneliness and depression and to test possible moderators. METHODS: We searched 12 databases without language and publish time restrictions and obtained the correlation coefficients. This review constructed two-stage meta-analytical structural equality modeling (MASEA) to test the mediating effect of social support and resilience. Additionally, use one-stage MASEA to test the moderator effect of women proportion, published year, and country of study. RESULTS: This study included 53 studies and 40, 929 older adults. Loneliness directly affected depression (ß = 0.28, 95 % CI: 0.20, 0.36). Social support (ß = 0.06, 95 % CI: 0.02, 0.09) and resilience (ß = 0.15, 95 % CI: 0.12, 0.18) mediated the relationship. The proportion of women in the sample was moderator (χ2(5) = 11.10, p = 0.05). When the proportion exceeded 60 %, the path coefficient of loneliness and social support (ß = -0.45, SE = 0.055) was larger than that of the subgroup below 60 % (ß = -0.32, SE = 0.041). LIMITATIONS: It was indefinite whether the evidence would be supported in longitudinal designs. Influenced by the original research data, it is impossible to calculate the model parameters of gender discrepancy. CONCLUSIONS: Health aging policy-makers adopting social support and resilience intervention will help strengthen the coping skills of older adults confronting loneliness and reduce the risk of depression.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary exercise is an important part in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We aimed to evaluate the effects and safety of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in patients with COPD, to provide insights to the COPD treatment and care. METHODS: Two investigators searched PubMed, Medline, Embase, web of Science, Cochrane library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and Weipu databases up to Sept 15, 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects and safety of HIIT for COPD patients. RevMan5.3 software was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: A total of 20 RCTs involving 962 COPD patients were finally included. 514 patients underwent HIIT interventions. Meta-analysis showed that HIIT increased the peak oxygen consumption (SMD = 0.30, 95%CI:0.14-0.46), peak minute ventilation (SMD = 0.26, 95%CI: 0.05-0.47), peak work rate (SMD = 0.34, 95%CI: 0.17-0.51), 6-min walking distance (SMD = 0.39, 95%CI: 0.23-0.55) in COPD patients (all P < 0.05). HIIT improved the quality of life (SMD = 0.30, 95%CI: 0.06-0.54) and reduced the dyspnea (SMD = -0.27, 95%CI: -0.51∼-0.03) in COPD patients (all P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity (SMD = 0.28, 95%CI: -0.01-0.56) and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire score (SMD = -0.35, 95%CI: -0.73-0.03) between HIIT and control group (all P > 0.05). There was no publication bias analyzed by the Egger test and funnel plots (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: HIIT may be beneficial to improve the pulmonary function, exercise capacity and quality of life of patients with COPD, which is worthy of clinical promotion for COPD treatment and care.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Social isolation is a global health issue that affects older adults throughout their lives. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with social isolation in older adults. DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Adults aged 60 years and older. METHODS: We searched for observational studies without language restrictions in 11 databases from inception to August 2022. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI were calculated using the R software (version 4.2.1). The modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the risk of bias. RESULTS: Eighteen factors were grouped into 5 themes. The following 13 factors were statistically significant: (1) demographics theme: aged 80 years and older (OR: 2.41; 95% CI: 1.20-4.85), less than or equal to a high school degree (OR: 1.68; 95% CI: 1.44-1.97), smoking (OR: 1.43; 95% CI: 1.18-1.73), and male (OR: 1.38; 95% CI: 1.01-1.89); (2) environment theme: low social support (OR: 7.77; 95% CI: 3.45-17.50) and no homeownership (OR: 1.38; 95% CI: 1.25-1.51); (3) role theme: no social participation (OR: 3.18; 95% CI: 1.30-7.80) and no spouse (OR: 2.61; 95% CI: 1.37-4.99); (4) physical health: hearing loss (OR: 2.78; 95% CI: 1.54-5.01), activities of daily living impairment (OR: 2.38; 95% CI: 1.57-3.61), and poor health status (OR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.32-1.74); and (5) mental health: cognitive decline (OR: 1.85; 95% CI: 1.40-2.45) and depression (OR: 1.72; 95% CI: 1.21-2.44). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Social isolation in older adults is associated with various factors. Hence, focused intervention should be adopted for older adults. In addition, further longitudinal studies are required to confirm a direct link between multiple factors and social isolation.

RESUMEN

As an important carrier of heavy metal pollutants in urban dust, green plants play an important role in the study of heavy metal pollution in the environment. To quantitatively assess the pollution degree, spatial distribution, and characteristics of dust accumulation of heavy metals in the leaves of 10 dominant green plants in Baoji City, the contents of Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Co, Cd, and As were determined in 156 leaf samples with a ground height of 0, 1, and 3 m in Baoji City, and the biological enrichment coefficient (BCF), pollution load index (PLI), and potential ecological risk index (RI) were calculated. The enrichment amounts of Cr, As, Ni, Pb, and Cd were the highest in the leaves of the green plants in Baoji City. The contents of Cr, Ni, and As in Ophiopogon Japonicus were the highest; the highest content of Cd was found in privet leaves, and the contents of Pb, Ni, and As in the leaves of tarasone were the highest. Clover, privet, and photinia revealed significant enrichment of Cd. The contents of Cr, As, Ni, Pb, Cd, and Zn decreased with an increase in the height of spatial distribution. Moreover, the rate of decrease in Cr was up to 24%, and the peak areas were around the Qianhe industrial zone, Renjiawan railway station, and the municipal government. According to PLI and RI values, the Renjiavan railway station and Qianhe industrial zone were moderately polluted areas with moderate ecological risk level, whereas the high-tech avenue area represented a strong ecological risk level. In addition, the PLI values of both Cr and As in the leaves of the green plants were greater than 3, indicating a level of severe pollution. Based on the average Eri values, Cd and As were the most ecologically harmful elements. The study area was at a medium risk level.

RESUMEN

In order to analyze the sources and factors influencing heavy metal pollution in industrial cities, 62 surface layer (0-20 cm) soil samples were collected in Baoji City for analysis using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Cd, As, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, Mn, and Ni were detected in the samples. Based on geostatistical methods and geo-detector models, the soil heavy metal pollution load index (PLI) was selected as the best indicator of factors affecting heavy metal pollution. The Unmix 6.0 receptor model was also used to analyze the heavy metal source. The results showed that:① The average concentrations of Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, As, Cr, Mn, and Ni in the surface soils of Baoji City were 0.77 mg·kg-1, 16.75 mg·kg-1, 40.52 mg·kg-1, 261 mg·kg-1, 17.03 mg·kg-1, 49.18 mg·kg-1, 331 mg·kg-1, and 30.52 mg·kg-1, respectively. These values exceeded the national secondary standard for Cd and Zn, which were 8.2 and 3.8 times more abundant, respectively, than in the background soils of Shaanxi Province, indicating that urban soils are seriously polluted with Cd and Zn. The average concentrations of Cu, As, and Ni also exceeded the background levels; ② The total pollution load index (PLIzone) for heavy metals in the surface soils of Baoji City was 1.36, which indicated mild levels of pollution, as analyzed using a geo-detector. Soil texture and distance to the city's railway had the strongest explanatory power for the distribution of pollutants (PD, H=0.040 and 0.026, respectively, with a combined explanatory power of 0.099); ③ Cd, Cu, and As mainly derive from "artificial sources" associated with industrial and agricultural activities, and Zn and Ni derive from traffic emissions. Cr, Pb, and Mn mainly derive from "mixed sources". Overall, the main source of heavy metals in the surface soils of the study area was classified as "mixed source" and soils were classified as having a mild level of pollution. These results provide scientific support for the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution in the soils of Baoji City.
