Effects of detraining on cardiovascular risk factors in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of detraining on cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in older adults and to explore potential moderating factor (duration of detraining) to gain a better understanding of the factors influencing changes in CVRF.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was conducted in four databases: Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus. A total of 17 studies involving 513 participants were included. Meta-analyses, subgroup analyses, sensitivity analyses, and publication bias assessments were performed using RevMan 5.4 and Stata version 15.0.

Results

Detraining significantly increased SBP (SMD = 0.40, 95% CI [0.21, 0.58]), DBP (SMD = 0.22, 95% CI [0.11, 0.33]), BGL (SMD = 0.48, 95% CI [0.1
