Abstract

Background: Characteristics of the metabolic syndrome include the co-occurrence of a 
number of cardiovascular risk factors, such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, 
hypertriglyceridemia, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, visceral obesity, and 
hypertension, which are improved by baduanjin exercise. Purpose: Determining the 
impact of Baduanjin workouts on quality of life in patients with metabolic syndrome.
Methods: A randomized prospective clinical study included 60 patients with metabolic 
syndrome. They were recruited from an outpatient clinic for internal diseases at Qalioup 
General Hospital. Two equal groups were randomly assigned to the patients. For twelve 
weeks, Group A engaged in daily baduanjin exercises plus medical treatment, and Group 
B was given only medical treatment. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood 
pressure (DBP), waist circumference (WC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein 
(HDL), fasting plasma glucose (FGL), the short form 12 mental component score 
(SF12MCS), and the short form 12 physical component score (SF12PCS) were compared 
before interventions and after 12 weeks. Results: According to analysis conducted 
within groups, all variables evaluated between pre- and post-treatment indicated a 
statistically significant difference in the group A, while the group B did not experience 
any statistically significant difference. Upon analyzing the group differences, it was 
found that, in all measure variables, no statistically significant difference was seen (pvalue > 0.05) between the two groups prior to treatment. while, there was a statistically 
significant difference between the two groups for all variables after the treatment 
(P<0.05). Conclusion: Baduanjin exercise decreased the symptoms of metabolic 
syndrome and its related cardiovascular effects
