Abstract

Purpose

Hypertension is associated with dyslipidemia. Thiazides adversely affect serum lipid levels in hypertensives. There is currently a dearth of information on benefits of aerobic exercise training on serum lipid levels in individuals on thiazides and this study aimed at bridging this gap in knowledge.

Methods

This randomized-controlled trial involved 120 newly-diagnosed adults with essential hypertension (≥65 years). They were treated with 50 mg of hydrochlorothiazide + 5 mg of hydrochloride amiloride and 5 or 10 mg of amlodipine for 4–6 weeks before they were randomly assigned into exercise group (EG) and control croup (CG). Only EG underwent 12-week aerobic dance training at 50–70 % of heart rate reserve three times per week. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride and total cholesterol were measured and recorded at baseline and post-study.

Results

Eighty-eight (45 in EG and 43 in CG) of 120 participants randomly assigned to groups completed the study. Systolic (p = 0.370) and diastolic (p = 0.771) blood pressures (BP) were similar between the two groups at baseline. Systolic (p < 0.001) and diastolic (p < 0.001) BPs reduced significantly in exercise and control groups. LDL-C (from 120.10 ± 33.41 to 110.50 ± 31.68 mg/dl; p = 0.037) and triglyceride (from 117.49 ± 45.12 to 100.63 ± 35.42 mg/dl; p = 0.002) decreased in EG post-study but no significant between-group differences were observed.

Conclusions

Although, LDL-C and triglyceride are reduced after aerobic dance training, they were not any more than without it. Aerobic dance training has favorable effects on LDL-C, triglyceride, and systolic and diastolic BP in individuals with hypertension on a thiazide.
