- W1937759723 abstract "Aim: To examine the effects of a once‐weekly laughter and exercise program on physical and psychological health among elderly people living in the community. As a regular exercise program can be difficult to maintain, we provided a more enjoyable program to enhance adherence to exercise. Methods: A total of 27 individuals aged 60 years or older, without disabilities, were randomly assigned to either an immediate treatment group ( n = 14) or a delayed treatment group ( n = 13). The intervention was a 120‐min session consisting of laughter and exercise, carried out once a week for 10 consecutive weeks. Measurements taken at baseline, 3 and 6 months included bodyweight, height, body fat, lean mass, bone mineral density, hemoglobin A1c (HbA 1c ), glucose, high‐density lipoprotein and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides, as well as self‐rated health and psychological factors. Results: All participants completed the 3‐month program. Bone mineral density increased significantly in the immediate treatment group compared with the delayed treatment group during the first 3 months ( P < 0.001). In addition, HbA 1c decreased significantly ( P = 0.001), and self‐rated health increased significantly ( P = 0.012). Conclusions: The combination of a laughter and exercise program might have physiological and psychological health benefits for the elderly. Laughter might be an effective strategy to motivate the elderly to participate in physical activity. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2013; 13: 152–160 ." @default.
