Chronic effect of bioresonance therapy on cardiovascular risk factors and physical activity pattern in the elderly: a randomized clinical trial

Abstract

The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of 12 months of bioresonance therapy on physical activity behavior and cardiovascular risk factors in the elderly. A randomized, parallel, double-blind clinical trial was carried out in a sample of 20 elderly people. Bioresonance therapy was performed using QUANTEC® PRO. Data on gender, sex and morbidities were obtained. As cardiovascular risk factors, body composition, blood pressure and biochemical profile were analyzed. The behavior change stage related to physical activity was verified by the transtheoretical model and the physical activity pattern evaluated by the Baecke questionnaire. The treatment group showed a significant reduction in total cholesterol, triglycerides, blood glucose, LDL-c and non-HDL-c, and an increase in HDL-c and physical activity and physical exercise scores. The placebo group, showed a regression in the behavior stage for physical activity. Based on the results, we conclude that instrumental biocommunication therapy using QUANTEC® can make a significant contribution to the health of the elderly, particularly in increasing physical activity level, maintaining blood glucose levels and improving the lipid profile.
