Overview

Systematic review shows exercise improves bone density and quality of life in older adults with osteoporosis, indicating the need for tailored exercise programs.

Key Points

  • This study aims to compare the effectiveness of various exercise interventions on bone mineral density and related quality of life in individuals with osteopenia and osteoporosis.
  • Conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis of exercise interventions
  • Evaluated studies for risk of bias and performed subgroup analysis
  • Utilized seven databases for a comprehensive search.
  • Exercise interventions improved bone mineral density (SMD = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.13, 0.63) compared to control.
  • Significant reduction in pain observed (SMD = -1.43, 95% CI: -1.88, -0.98) with specific exercise modalities.
  • Yi Jin Jing (SUCRA = 92.3%) was most effective for bone density, while Ba Duan Jin (SUCRA = 99.2%) had the highest impact on quality of life.
