Background: Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading global cause of mortality worldwide especially in older adults. Although it is known that regular exercise reduces cardiovascular diseases incidence, its effects on specific cardiovascular aging parameters considering the influence of sex and different exercise designs are still not fully understood. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effects of different physical exercise protocols on age-related cardiovascular outcomes in older adults.

- The study evaluated the impact of gamified versus nongamified health promotion interventions on health outcomes for women healthcare workers in Brazil.
- After 8 weeks, the gamified group showed significant improvements in various health metrics, including weight loss, reduced waist circumference, and better blood pressure control, unlike the nongamified group.
- The findings suggest that incorporating gamification into health interventions could be a more effective strategy for enhancing health and fitness among healthcare worker women.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of a high-calorie diet on oxidative stress in the retinas of Wistar rats, comparing it to a standard diet and assessing the potential protective effects of carnosine supplementation.
- Rats were divided into four groups for analysis: those on a standard diet, a high-calorie diet, a standard diet with carnosine, and a high-calorie diet with carnosine, measuring various health markers and oxidative stress markers.
- The findings indicated that a high-calorie diet increased harmful oxidative markers in the retina, while carnosine supplementation did not effectively reduce these oxidative effects.
