Purpose.
To use the meta-analytic approach to examine the effects of diet (D), aerobic exercise (E), or both (DE) on non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in adults.
Methods.
Randomized controlled trials in adults ≥18 years of age were included.
A mixed-effect model was used to combine effect size (ES) results within each subgroup and to compare subgroups (Qb).
Heterogeneity was examined using the Q and I2 statistics, and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were also calculated.
Statistical significance was set at P≤0.05, while a trend for statistical significance was set between P>0.05, and ≤0.10.
Results.
A statistically significant exercise minus control group decrease in non-HDL-C was found for DE (7 ESs, 389 participants, x¯=-11.1 mg/dL, 95% CI=−21.7 to −0.6, P=0.04, Q=2.4, P=0.88, I2=0%), a trend for the D group (7 ESs, 402 participants, x¯=−8.5 mg/dL, 95% CI=−18.6 to 1.6, P=0.10, Q=0.76, P=0.99, I2=0%), and no change for the E group (7 ESs, 387 participants, x¯=3.0 mg/dL, 95% CI=−7.1 to 13.1, P=0.56, Q=0.78, P=0.99, I2=0%).
Overall, no statistically significant between-group differences were found (Qb=4.1, P=0.12).
Conclusions.
Diet combined with aerobic exercise may reduce non-HDL-C among adults in some settings.
