摘要

Background and objectives

Most existing studies have primarily focused on the effects of Traditional Chinese Exercises (TCEs) on glycemic control in individuals with prediabetes, while specific recommendations for managing dyslipidemia in this population remain insufficient. Moreover, there is a lack of systematic research and conclusive evidence regarding the optimal exercise dose required to achieve metabolic improvements in individuals with prediabetes. Therefore, this meta-analysis aims to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy of TCEs in improving glycemic and lipid profiles in individuals with prediabetes and to explore the potential impact of exercise dose on these metabolic parameters.

Methods

A comprehensive search of six databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, and WanFang Data) followed PRISMA guidelines to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on TCEs (e.g., “Tai Chi,” “Yijinjing,” “Baduanjin”) and prediabetes (e.g., “impaired glucose tolerance,” “impaired glucose regulation”) published up to November 10, 2024. Three reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed bias risk. Meta-analysis and subgroup/meta-regression analyses were conducted using Stata 17 software. The review protocol is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024615150).

Results

A total of 15 studies involving 1,839 participants were included. The meta-analysis revealed that TCEs significantly improved HbA1c (MD = -0.28%; 95% CI: -0.38% to -0.18%; P = 0.001), FBG (MD = -0.44 mmol/L; 95% CI: -0.53 to -0.34 mmol/L; P < 0.001), 2hPG (MD = -1.16 mmol/L; 95% CI: -1.48 to -0.85 mmol/L; P < 0.001), TC (MD = -0.31 mmol/L; 95% CI: -0.50 to -0.11 mmol/L; P = 0.002), TG (MD = -0.28 mmol/L; 95% CI: -0.50 to -0.06 mmol/L; P = 0.012), and HDL (MD = -0.28 mmol/L; 95% CI: -0.50 to -0.06 mmol/L; P = 0.012) compared to control groups.

Conclusions

TCEs significantly improve prediabetics’ blood glucose and lipid levels. The recommended exercise regimen is 30–50 min per session, 2–3 times per week, for at least three months.
