AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates a hospital-based lifestyle program on women with metabolic syndrome (MetS) through diet and exercise over an 8-week period.
- Forty-four participants showed significant improvements in all MetS components, with 25% no longer classified with MetS after the program.
- The program highlights the potential of lifestyle changes to lower cardiovascular disease risk in women with MetS, although it did not significantly impact high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.
Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of a hospital-based therapeutic lifestyle program on women with metabolic syndrome (MetS).
Materials And Methods: We conducted a therapeutic lifestyle program for women with MetS. They all received a low calorie, balanced diet and participated in a regular aerobic exercise program for 8 weeks. Anthropometric indices, blood pressure, and biochemical data were collected. A paired t test was used for statistical analysis. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Forty-four women took part in the program. All the components of MetS had decreased significantly by the end of the program and 25% of women no longer had MetS at the end of the program.
Conclusion: The therapeutic lifestyle program with diet control and regular exercise improves most markers of MetS except for levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol. Therapeutic lifestyle intervention may be the best way of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease in women with MetS.

Previous cross-sectional studies have utilized scales to explore potential indications of the moderating effect of resilience on the relationship between stressful life events (SLEs) and mental health. However, there remains a notable dearth of psychometrically driven models in longitudinal resilience research, especially concerning the prognosis of individuals with affective disorders and/or anxiety. This study aimed to investigate whether baseline resilience capacity, measured by the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, could mitigate the impact of SLEs on depressive symptoms assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory-II among 66 outpatients with depression and/or anxiety disorders during a follow-up period ranging from 4-8 years.

Background: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medication are suggested to have beneficial effects in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease, due to anti-inflammatory and possibly amyloid-lowering properties. However, the results of observational studies and randomized-controlled trials have been inconsistent, and duration and dose-response relationships are still unclear.
Method: We included 11,745 dementia-free participants from the prospective population-based Rotterdam Study (59.
