Older adults (, both sexes)/63 subjects with exercise and antioxidant diet 63 subjects with vitamins E 400 UI–C 500 mg/d 63 subjects with vitamins E 400 UI–C 1000 mg/d 80 controls
Effect of moderate physical exercise and antioxidant diet in comparison to oral vitamins C and E vs. severe OS
All groups with treatment after 1y had SS lower compared with pretest. Only 6 elderlies in the vitamin groups have severe OS after 1 y.
Moderate physical exercise and antioxidant diet have similar effect against severe OS than antioxidant vitamins in healthy elderlies.
Older adults (, both sexes)/104 subjects from Mexico City 85 subjects from a rural area
Association between OS and cognitive impairment (CI) in elderly residents from rural and urban areas
Greater proportion of subjects with OS and CI in urban than in rural areas, being a risk factor. Higher OS and CI were observed in subjects >80 y of the urban area.
Elderly from urban area have more OS and greater risk of develop CI than inhabitants of rural communities.
Older adults (, both sexes)/33 subjects with DM 40 subjects with AH 26 subjects with OA 63 healthy subjects
OS as risk factor for chronic degenerative diseases (CDD): type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), arterial hypertension (AH), or osteoarthritis (OA) in older adults
OS was higher in DM and AH subjects. OS is a risk factor for CDD.
The OS is a risk factor for CDD, mainly for DM and AH subjects.
Adults (, women) 25 heathy with HT 25 healthy with placebo 25 MetS with HT 25 MetS with placebo
Effect of oral hormone therapy (HT) (1 mg/day of estradiol valerate plus 5 mg/10 day of medroxyprogesterone) on OS in postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome (MetS).
SS decrease after 6 mo in the two groups with HT, more evident in the women with MetS. The proportion of women with OS decreases in both groups of women with HT.
HT improves OS associated with MetS in postmenopause.
