Women Who Lack Exercise At Greater Risk Of Developing Metabolic SyndromeMain Category: Obesity / Weight Loss / Fitness Also Included In: Women's Health / Gynecology; Depression Article Date: 12 Apr 2012 - 1:00 PDT A national study shows that women are less likely than men to get at least 30 minutes of exercise per day, resulting in greater odds of developing metabolic syndrome - a risky and increasingly prevalent condition related to obesity. Metabolic syndrome is a name for a group of risk factors - including high cholesterol, high blood pressure and extra weight around the middle part of the body - which occur together and increase the risk for coronary disease, stroke, and Type 2 diabetes. The researchers initially were interested in the correlation between physical activity, depression and metabolic syndrome, and ended up finding a gender difference. The study, now online in the journal Preventive Medicine, was conducted at Oregon State University by Paul Loprinzi and Bradley Cardinal, professor of social psychology of physical activity at OSU. Loprinzi is now an assistant professor of exercise science at Bellarmine University. He conducted the research when he was a student in Cardinal's lab at OSU. "The results indicate that regular physical activity participation was associated with positive health outcomes for both men and women; however, there was a greater strength of association for women," Loprinzi said. Looking at more than 1,000 men and women from a nationally represented sample, the researchers found that women were getting only about 18 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise daily, compared to men who, on average, were getting 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise daily. "Those who get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day are less likely to be depressed, less likely to have high cholesterol and less likely to have metabolic syndrome," Loprinzi said. Loprinzi and Cardinal's study is unique in part because it is the first to use an "objective" measure of physical activity - in this case participants were outfitted with accelerometers that measured daily activity. In their study, slightly more than one in three women had metabolic syndrome, and one in five had symptoms of depression. "It's pretty striking what happens to you if you don't meet that 30 minutes a day of activity," Cardinal said. "Women in our sample had better health behavior - they were much less likely to smoke for instance, but the lack of activity still puts them at risk." Cardinal said depression puts people at more risk of abdominal fat and insulin resistance, and both are risk factors for metabolic syndrome. "Physical activity has been shown to reduce depression," he said. "So the key message here is to get that 30 minutes of exercise every day because it reduces a great deal of risk factors." While their study does not address why women were not getting enough exercise, the authors said research shows that physical activity patterns often begin in childhood. "Research has shown that around ages 5 or 6 these patterns begin," Cardinal said. "Parents tend to be more concerned with the safety of girls, and have more restrictive practices around outdoor time and playtime than with boys." Loprinzi said this pattern tends to continue into adulthood, and that overall confidence may be a factor. "Some evidence indicates that women, compared to men, have less confidence in their ability to overcome their exercise-related barriers," Loprinzi said, adding that women also often cite a lack of time to exercise due to child-rearing. The researchers have a study coming out that may help those time-challenged women. Loprinzi said he and Cardinal found that adults can still enhance their health by accumulating physical activity in short periods throughout the day, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator or pacing while talking on the phone.

Ne manjePotrebna količina tjelovježbe na dan Nova američka studija otkriva da žene daleko rjeđe prakticiraju 30 minuta dnevne tjelovježbe zbog čega imaju veći rizik za razvoj mnoštvo zdravstvenih problema, uključujući i depresiju. Muškarci uglavnom vježbaju toliko, ali zbog drugih loših navika ipak nisu zdraviji.U studiji provedenoj na državnom sveučilištu Oregon, objavljenoj u online izdanju časopisa Preventive Medicine bilo je uključeno 1.000 sudionika. Opremili su ih akcelerometrima koji su mjerili njihove dnevne aktivnosti. Na koncu se pokazalo da su žene u prosjeku imale 18 minuta umjerene do intenzivne tjelovježbe, u usporedbi s 30 minuta koliko su u prosjeku imali muškarci. Istraživači su također bilježili znakove depresije i metaboličkog sindroma. Bradley Cardinal, profesor socijalne psihologije pri sveučilištu Ohio, objašnjava da je tu riječ o skupini zdravstvenih uvjeta koji zajedno mogu dramatično podići rizik od srčanih bolesti, moždanog udara i dijabetesa. Jedna od pet žena imala je simptome depresije, a nešto više od jedne od tri žene su imale metabolički sindrom. Ipak žene su kao grupa imale bolji zdravstveni profil od muškaraca. 'Kod žena je manja vjerojatnost da će pušiti nego kod muškaraca, a imale su i bolje razine HDL kolesterola (dobar kolesterol), krvni tlak, opseg struka, razine glukoze, vitamina B-12 i trigliceride', objašnjava dr. Cardinal. Depresija - češća kod žena koje malo vježbaju Učestalost depresije bila je viša među ženama uključenima u studiju. Zanimljivo da je kod žena koje su uspjele svakodnevno vježbati barem 30 minuta rizik da imaju depresiju i metabolički sindrom 85 posto manji u odnosu na one koje nisu postigle 30 minuta tjelovježbe. Kod muškaraca je uočena razlika, ali je korist od tjelovježbe smanjio rizik za 66 posto. Dva i pol sata umjerene do intenzivne fizičke aktivnosti tjedno učinit će veliku razliku, zaključili su u studiji. Osim toga, tjelovježba ne mora nužno biti svakodnevno, ali je ipak treba rasporediti tijekom nekoliko dana. 'Jedan sat, tri do četiri puta tjedno će biti više nego dovoljno za postizanje željenog rezultata', kaže Cardinal. Aktivnost se može podijeliti u više kraćih termina. Čak i 10 ili 15 minuta tjelovježbe utječe na zdravlje. Naime, rezultati studije ukazuju da je i nešto bolje nego ništa. Dakako idealno bi bilo skupiti najmanje 30 minuta svakodnevno ili barem po nekoliko dana tjedna, što je ukupno 150 ili više minuta tjelovježbe.
