身體活動量對停經婦女血脂肪與血糖之影響

The Effects of Physical Activity on Blood Lipids and Glucose in Menopause Women

摘要


Purpose: Low physical activity is considered to be an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study was to investigate high and low physical activity measured by pedometer on blood lipid profile and glucose in postmenopausal women. Methods: Sixty postmenopausal women were recruited in this study. Their physical activity levels were measured by pedometer for one week. Thirty participants with greater than 6000 steps/day were high physical activity (53.73±3.88 yrs, 154.73±4.04 cm, 54.33±6.44 kg, and 7262.53±1364.21 steps/day), and thirty participants with lesser than 6000 steps/day were low physical activity (57.33±6.21 yrs, 155.4±4.63 cm, 57.95±6.53 kg, and 4421±1612.5 steps/day). The day after measuring participants' daily steps, a 10 ml venous blood sample was collected from the subjects' cubital fossa region of the dominant arm for determining the levels of plasma total cholesterol (TC), HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), and glucose (GLU). Results: The levels of TC and LDL-C in postmenopausal women with high physical activity were significantly lower (p<.05) than the levels of TC and LDL-C those women with low physical activity, while there was no significant difference on HDL-C level between two groups. TG level in high physical activity group tended to lower than low physical activity group, but did not reach statistical significance. In addition, the glucose level in low physical activity group was markedly higher (p<.05) than the glucose level in high physical activity group. Conclusion: It is concluded that high physical activity could be beneficent for controlling total cholesterol (TC), LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and glucose (GLU) in postmenopausal women.
