Abstract

Aim

We aimed to assess the impact of Tai Chi interventions on individuals with essential hypertension and to compare the effects of Tai Chi versus control in this population.

Background

Tai Chi has been extensively utilized in the prevention of essential hypertension. Nevertheless, there is a lack of consensus regarding its benefits for treating essential hypertension.

Design

A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted.

Data Sources

We conducted a systematic literature search of the Medline, Scholar, Elsevier, Wiley Online Library, Chinese Academic Journal (CNKI) and Wanfang databases from January 2003 to August 2023.

Review Methods

Using the methods of the Cochrane Collaboration Handbook, a meta-analysis was conducted to assess the collective impact of Tai Chi exercise in controlling hypertension. The primary outcomes measured included blood pressure and nitric oxide levels.

Results

The participants consisted of adults with an average age of 57.1 years who had hypertension (mean ± standard deviation systolic blood pressure at 148.2 ± 12.1 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure at 89.2 ± 8.3 mmHg). Individuals who practiced Tai Chi experienced reductions in systolic blood pressure of 10.6 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure of 4.7 mmHg and an increase in nitric oxide levels.

Conclusions

Tai Chi can be a viable lifestyle intervention for managing hypertension. Greater promotion of Tai Chi by medical professionals could extend these benefits to a larger patient population.

太极拳治疗原发性高血压的疗效：系统综述和荟萃分析。

目的：我们旨在评估太极拳干预对原发性高血压患者的影响，并比较太极拳与对照组在该人群中的效果。背景：太极拳已被广泛用于预防原发性高血压。然而，对于其治疗原发性高血压的益处，目前还缺乏共识。设计：进行系统回顾和荟萃分析。数据来源：2003年1月至2023年8月，我们对Medline、Scholar、Elsevier、Wiley在线图书馆、中国知网和万方数据库进行了系统的文献检索。综述方法：采用Cochrane协作手册的方法，进行荟萃分析，评估太极运动对控制高血压的集体影响。测量的主要结果包括血压和一氧化氮水平。结果：参与者包括平均年龄为57.1岁的成年人患有高血压的年数（平均 ± 148.2时收缩压的标准差 ± 12.1 mmHg，舒张压为89.2 ± 8.3毫米汞柱）。练习太极的个体收缩压降低10.6毫米汞柱，舒张压降低4.7毫米汞柱并增加一氧化氮水平。结论：太极拳是治疗高血压的一种可行的生活方式干预措施。医疗专业人员大力推广太极拳可以将这些好处扩大到更多的患者群体。
