Effects of exercise on the cognition of older women treated with lovastatin 2018 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Introduction: The deterioration of cognition is highly predominant in older adults. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the effects of a walk 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 6 min Walk 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 attention and calculation. The decrease in LDL-C was not significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: A controlled and progressive walk program for older women treated with Lovastatin may induce a boost of brain activity linked to HDL-C, which could delay cognitive impairment. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 0.733 2018 TROPICAL MEDICINE 17 / 21 = 0.81 2018 Q4 T3 0.276 2018 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2018 Q3 Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous) 2018 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Arreguin-Moreno, R.
