운동과 체지방률이 중·고령층의 상완-발목 맥파 속도(b-aPWV)에 미치는 효과: 메타회귀분석 = Effects of Exercise and Body Fat Percentage on Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity in Middle-Aged and Older Adults: A Meta-Regression Analysis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aimed to determine the overall effect size of exercise on brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (b-aPWV) reduction in middle-aged and older adults through meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis. Additionally, it investigated the moderating influence of body fat percentage on the effect size. In order to achieve the objective, 18papers selected through literature review used meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis(Stata17). The main results of the study are as follows : First, exercise demonstrated a moderate to large effect in reducing b-aPWV among middle-aged and older adults. Second, body fat percentage negatively moderated the effect of exercise on b-aPWV reduction, indicating that higher body fat levels diminished the beneficial impact of exercise on arterial stiffness.
