Abstract
AbstractThe objective of this review was to determine the effects of exercise on high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) derived trabecular microarchitecture parameters in older adults. Five electronic databases were systematically searched by two independent reviewers. Inclusion criteria were adults age ≥ 50, any type of exercise as part of the intervention, and trabecular microarchitecture assessed via HR-pQCT. Data was extracted from included studies, and where suitable, included in a meta-analysis. Quality of included studies was appraised. Seven studies (397 participants) were included. All participants were postmenopausal women. Interventions included jumping, whole-body vibration, and power/plyometric training. All studies were rated as either weak or moderate quality. Meta-analysis (5 studies) showed no significant changes in any parameters when considering all exercise or sub-analysing based on type. Exercise was not found to have significant effects on trabecular microarchitecture in postmenopausal women over the age of 50. These findings should be interpreted with caution due to the small number of studies investigating few modes of exercise, their weak to moderate quality, and risk of bias. High-quality studies are needed to determine the effects of additional types of exercise in a more diverse population of older adults, including men.
