ABSTRACT
Objective:To systematically review the rehabilitation effects of moderate intermittent hypoxia on clinical related diseases. Methods:Literatures about rehabilitation effects of moderate intermittent hypoxia on clinical related diseases from 2004 to 2021 were searched in PubMed, ScienceDirect, CNKI and Wanfang databases using a systematic review method. Results:A total of 27 literatures were included, which focused on the effects on neural system, respiratory system, and cardiovascular diseases, as well as the regulation of metabolic and the improvement of exercise ability. Conclusion:Moderate intermittent hypoxia could improve the cognitive function, alleviate the symptoms of ischemic stroke, accelerate the recovery of spinal cord injury, resist depression and reduce blood pressure; regulate metabolism, improve aerobic capacity, enhance respiratory function and myocardial function. However, more researches are needed to make it clear that the standard on the duration of hypoxia within episodes, the number of hypoxia/reoxygenation cycles (episodes) per session every day, the pattern of presentation, and the cumulative duration of exposure.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist-Hips-Ratio (WHR) and Blood lipids.Methods Body measurements including BMI, WHR and body fat percentage (FAT%), and blood lipid profile assessment and liver ultrasonography were conducted on 350 employees from Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone from January 2006 to August 2007. All subjects were classified into a group of overweight/obesity and a group of normal body weight based on their BMI. BMI, WHR, FAT%, blood lipid profile, the prevalence of fatty liver and dyslipidemia were compared between the two groups. Results WHR, FAT%, the level of TG and TC in overweight/obesity group were significantly higher than that in normal body weight group(P=0.000), but the level of HDL-C was significantly lower than that in normal body weight group (P=0.000). The prevalence of central obesity (88.70%), fatty liver (72.32%), and hypertriglyceridemia (49.7%),hypercholesterolemia (33.89%), low HDL-C (40.68%) in overweight/obesity group were significantly higher than those in normal body weight group (P=0.000). Concludes BMI, WHR were associated with blood lipids. Early identification and intervention on these people with high risk of cardiovascular diseases are possible by body measurement, which are significant for predicting and reducing the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
