- Effects of exercise on the cognition of older women treated with lovastatin Edgardo Molina-Sotomayor Rocío Arreguín-Moreno Fernando Rodríguez-Rodríguez Francisco Pradas Juan Antonio León José Antonio González-Jurado Medicina aging Exercise cognition dyslipidemia mental health Introduction: The deterioration of cognition is highly predominant in older adults.Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of a walking program on the cognition and blood concentration of lipids in women over 60 years of age who were being treated with lovastatin.Materials and methods: Participants were distributed in two groups: An exercise group (EG, n=45) with aerobic training and an inactive sedentary group (SG, n=22). 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
