The cognitive state of the subjects was assessed through the Spanish Mini-Cog Test version of the MMSE; lipoproteins were quantified using a lipid profile test, and the cardiorespiratory fitness was measured using the six-minute walking test (6MWT).Results: EG showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in cardiorespiratory fitness and in HDL-C concentrations. Furthermore, the results from the cognition tests showed a large effect size in spatial orientation and in and calculation. The decrease in LDL-C was not significant (p>0.05).Conclusion: A controlled and progressive walking program for older women treated with Lovastatin may induce a boost of brain activity linked to HDL-C, which could delay cognitive impairment. 2018 artículo científico 0120-4157 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=84358121007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/843/84358121007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/843/84358121007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/843/84358121007/84358121007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/843/84358121007/movil 10.7705/biomedica.v38i4.4262 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=843 Biomédica application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Salud Biomédica (Colombia) Num.4 Vol.38 |
