Abstract EN
Objective.
To investigate the effects of Baduanjin exercise for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods.
Literature retrieval was performed in several databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Data Information Site, CBM, and VIP from inception to April 2017.
Randomized controlled trials on evaluating the effects of Baduanjin exercise were identified.
The primary outcomes were glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood-glucose, and postprandial plasma glucose.
Review Manager 5.2 (RevMan 5.2) and Stata V.13.0 software were conducted for data analysis.
Results.
The results of the meta-analysis indicated that the effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus were favoring Baduanjin plus conventional therapy, when compared with the routine treatment.
Baduanjin plus conventional therapy lowered the level of glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood-glucose, postprandial plasma glucose, TC, TG, and LDL-C and improved HDL-C.
Adverse events were not mentioned in all included studies.
No publication bias was detected by Begg’s and Egger’s test and no single study affected the overall result by influence analysis.
Conclusions.
Evidence from meta-analysis suggested that Baduanjin exercise plus conventional therapy has a positive effect on type 2 diabetes mellitus.
However, more rigorously designed and large sample RCTs are required to confirm the efficacy and safety in further studies.
