Key result
Higher levels of total physical activity were associated with a lower risk of metabolic syndrome (OR 0.68; 95% CI 0.54 to 0.85; P for trend=0.001) among middle-aged and older Chinese adults.
Why the study?
Does higher physical activity improve inflammatory factors, adipocytokines, and reduce metabolic syndrome in middle-aged and older Chinese people?
Population

p-value: p=0.001
Higher physical activity is associated with a better inflammatory and adipocytokine profile and a reduced risk of metabolic syndrome in middle-aged and older Chinese adults.
Yu et al. (2009) conducted a cross-sectional in Metabolic syndrome (n=3,289). Higher levels of total physical activity vs. Lower levels of total physical activity was evaluated on Metabolic syndrome (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.54 to 0.85, p=0.001). Higher levels of total physical activity were associated with a lower risk of metabolic syndrome (OR 0.68; 95% CI 0.54 to 0.85; P for trend=0.001) among middle-aged and older Chinese adults.
