Meta AnalysisEffects of Physical Activity on Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Levels in Obese Metabolic Syndrome Patients: A Meta-Analysis.
Metabolic syndrome is a combination of multiple disorders that predispose an individual to risk of diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), and insulin-resistance. Hypothyroidism is the most prevalent metabolic disorder causing obesity, followed by hypercortisolism and hypogonadism. Hence, this study aimed to determine the effects of various exercises on thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in obese patients with metabolic syndrome. ⋯ It was concluded that although a pooled moderate effect of training on TSH levels was observed when all the studies were analysed using a continuous measure analysis SMD model, an individual analysis of the studies revealed a mild effect, with many studies also revealing the negative impact of training on TSH levels. Nonetheless, exercise-based intervention strategies are safe and effective as a management strategy for hypothyroidism and obesity due to hypothyroidism. Key Words: Thyroid hormone, Exercise, Metabolic syndrome, Obesity, TSH level.
