Abstract: 
Objective: Studies have demonstrated that tai Chi exercise improves blood lipid level with inconsistent results. A meta-analysis was conducted to quantify the effects of tai Chi on blood lipid profiles in humans. Methods: We screened the databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library (Central), Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang data, and Clinicaltrials.gov for randomized controlled trials with Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) score more than 3 points up to June 2015. Six studies involving 445 subjects were included. Most trials applied 12-week tai Chi intervention courses. Results: In comparison with the control group, blood triglyceride (TG) level difference between follow-up and baseline was statistically significantly lower in the tai Chi practicing group (weighted mean difference (WMD) −16.81 mg/dl; 95% confidence intervals (CI) −31.27 to −2.35 mg/dl; P=0.02). A trend to improving total cholesterol (TC) reduction was found with tai Chi (WMD −7.96 mg/dl; 95% CI −17.30 to 1.39 mg/dl; P=0.10). However, no difference was found in blood low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Conclusions: tai Chi exercise lowered blood TG level with a trend to decrease blood TC level. Our data suggest that tai Chi has the potential to implement meaningful blood lipid modification and serve as an adjunctive exercise modality. The relationship between tai Chi exercise regimen and lipid profile change might have a scientific priority for future investigation.

太极锻炼对血脂的临床疗效:随机对照试验的meta分析

目的:探讨太极锻炼是否能改善血脂水平。
创新点:明确太极锻炼对血脂的影响,为非药物调脂治疗提供新手段。
方法:通过筛选太极锻炼持续4周以上,PEDro评分3分以上,且观察太极锻炼对血脂影响的成人随机对照试验,meta分析太极锻炼对总胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇和甘油三酯的影响。
结论:通过meta分析最终入选的6项研究(共445例患者)的结果显示,太极锻炼能显著降低血甘油三酯水平,且有降低总胆固醇的趋势,但是对于低密度脂蛋白胆固醇和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇未发现有明显影响。
