“…However, we were unable to include two studies because of the inability to retrieve necessary data for HDL 2 -C [39,40]. Thus, our percent loss that met our inclusion criteria was approximately 9%, leaving us with a total of 19 studies for analysis [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].

“…studies in which there were dropouts, the majority (88%) used an analysis-by-protocol approach to analyze their data [4][5][6][7][8]10,[13][14][15][16][18][19][20][21][22]. A total of 39 groups (20 exercise, 19 control) representing 984 subjects (516 exercise, 468 control) and 20 HDL 2 -C outcomes were available for pooling.…”

“…However, the results of previous randomized controlled trials dealing with the effects of aerobic exercise on HDL 2 -C have led to less than overwhelming results [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], with only 30% of HDL 2 -C outcomes reported as statistically significant. While this may lead one to question the utility of aerobic exercise for increasing HDL 2 -C in adults, such a conclusion would be based on the vote-counting approach (percentage of statistically significant results), a procedure that has been shown to be less accurate than the more quantitative meta-analytic approach [23].…”

Purpose-Use the meta-analytic approach to examine the effects of aerobic exercise on highdensity lipoprotein two cholesterol (HDL 2 -C) in adults.Study sources-(1) Computerized literature searches; (2) cross-referencing from retrieved articles; (3) hand-searching; and (4) expert review of our reference list.Study selection-(1) Randomized controlled trials; (2) aerobic exercise ≥8 weeks; (3) adults ≥18 years of age; (4) studies published in journal, dissertation, or master's thesis format; (5) studies published in the English-language between January 1, 1955 and January 1, 2003; and (6) assessment of HDL 2 -C in the fasting state.Data abstraction-All coding conducted by both authors, independent of each other. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus.Results-Nineteen randomized controlled trials representing 20 HDL 2 -C outcomes from 984 males and females (516 exercise, 468 control) were pooled for analysis. Using random-effects modeling and bootstrap confidence intervals (BCI), a statistically significant increase of approximately 11% was observed for HDL 2 -C (X̄ ± S.E.M., 2.6±0.9 mg/dl, 95% BCI, 1.0-4.4 mg/dl). With each study deleted from the model once, results remained statistically significant. Increases in HDL 2 -C were independent of decreases in body weight, body mass index (kg/m 2 ), and percent body fat.Conclusion-Aerobic exercise increases HDL 2 -C in adults.

Research Methods and Procedures:Total body fat and visceral fat were measured using electron beam computed tomography (EBT). Anthropometric parameters (height, weight, BMI, sagittal diameter, and waist circumference) were measured using standard techniques. Total percentage body fat was assessed using DXA. Spearman correlations were used to examine the association between the measures. Linear regression, controlling for age, was used to examine the associations between the anthropometric parameters and total and visceral body fat measured by EBT. Results: Correlations among body composition measures ranged from ϭ 0.46 to 0.93 (p Ͻ 0.0001). EBT total fat was strongly correlated with both DXA estimates of total percentage fat ( ϭ 0.86) and BMI ( ϭ 0.89). Separate linear regression models indicated that BMI, waist circumference, sagittal diameter, and DXA total percentage fat were each independently related to EBT total fat. BMI had the strongest linear relationship, explaining 80% of the model variance (p Ͻ 0.0001). Linear regression indicated that BMI, waist circumference, and sagittal diameter were each independently related to EBT visceral fat, with BMI and sagittal diameter explaining ϳ53% of the model variance (p Ͻ 0.0001). Discussion: The use of simple anthropometric measures such as BMI, sagittal diameter, and waist circumference may be an appropriate alternative for more expensive techniques when assessing total fat but should be used with caution when estimating visceral body fat.

Women's Cardiovascular Health Network members representing 10 Prevention Research Centers completed a literature review of approximately 65 population-based studies focused on improving women's cardiovascular health through behavior change for tobacco use, physical inactivity, or diet. A framework was developed for conducting the search. Databases (Medline, Psychlit, Smoking and Health, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) of studies published from 1980 to 1998 were searched. The review was presented at a meeting of experts held in Atlanta, Georgia. Output from the meeting included identification of what has worked to improve cardiovascular health in women and recommendations for future behavioral research. Additional information is available at www.hsc.wvu.edu/womens-cvh. Cardiovascular health interventions geared toward women are scant. Based on the available studies, program components that emerged as effective included personalized advice on diet and physical activity behaviors and tobacco cessation, multiple staff contacts with skill building, daily self-monitoring, and combinations of strategies. Recommendations for community-based tobacco, physical activity, and diet interventions are discussed. A few overarching recommendations were to (1) conduct qualitative research to determine the kinds of interventions women want, (2) examine relapse prevention, motivation, and maintenance of behavior change, (3) tailor programs to the stage of the life cycle, a woman's readiness to change, and subgroups, that is, minority, low socioeconomic, and obese women, and (4) evaluate policy and environmental interventions. The effects of cardiovascular interventions in women have been inappropriately understudied in women. Our review found that few studies on cardiovascular risk factor modification have actually targeted women. Hence, adoption and maintenance of behavior change in women are elusive. Intervention research to improve women's cardiovascular health is sorely needed.
