Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis to investigate the most effective intervention for improving body composition outcomes in prostate cancer patients. The results indicate that a resistance-based exercise program alone or combined with a general healthy diet are the most effective interventions for improving overall body composition in men with prostate cancer.

Summary: This meta-analysis aimed to assess the effects of exercise interventions on body composition and quality of life in overweight/obese breast cancer survivors. The results showed that exercise intervention significantly decreased the body mass index and body fat of overweight/obese breast cancer survivors. However, more high-quality studies are needed to support the impact on improving quality of life.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effect of exercise training on body composition outcomes in postmenopausal women. The results showed that exercise training effectively increased muscle mass/volume, muscle and fiber cross-sectional area and fat-free mass, and decreased fat mass, body fat percentage, waist circumference and visceral fat.

Summary: Exercise training significantly reduced body mass index, body fat percentage, neck circumference, total body weight, and AHI in patients with OSA. However, the improvement in AHI may not solely be attributed to changes in adiposity. The study suggests that exercise can improve body composition in OSA patients, but the clinical significance of this improvement may be limited.

Summary: The analysis of four randomized controlled trials did not find significant differences in the impact of exercise on cardiac function and circulating biomarkers among women with breast cancer receiving anthracycline or trastuzumab-containing therapy. However, interventions with >= 36 exercise sessions showed a significant benefit in preventing LVEF decline.

Summary: This study compared and analyzed the effects of different exercise modalities on cardiopulmonary function in hemodialysis patients using Bayesian network meta-analysis. The results showed that different exercise modalities had positive effects on cardiorespiratory capacity. Body and mind training had the best effect on decreasing arterial blood pressure, while aerobic and resistance training had better and more stable intervention effect.

Summary: This study examined the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Patient Knowledge Questionnaire-Osteoarthritis (PKQ-OA-K) and found that while it has excellent validity, its reliability is not perfect. It recommends cautious use of the PKQ-OA-K for assessing Korean patients' knowledge of osteoarthritis.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of nurse-led interventions on medication adherence, medication knowledge, and clinical outcomes in adults with metabolic syndrome. The findings showed that nurse-led interventions had a moderate impact on enhancing medication adherence and knowledge and improving clinical outcomes. Factors such as intervention duration, delivery mode, and use of multiple strategies influenced the effectiveness of nurse-led medication adherence interventions.

Summary: This study examined the psychometric properties of the Korean Barriers Self-Efficacy Scale-Physical Activity, used for Korean-speaking adults with osteoarthritis at risk for metabolic syndrome. Factor analysis identified three dimensions, explaining 65.9% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed structural validity, while construct validity showed significant associations with physical activity and psychological variables. The scale demonstrated good test-retest reliability (0.87) and internal consistency (0.90), and was responsive to medium-magnitude change.

Summary: This study aimed to examine a hypothetical model of physical activity (PA) and health outcomes related to sarcopenia in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on self-determination theory. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 214 women diagnosed with RA from a university-affiliated hospital in South Korea. The results showed that physical activity was directly influenced by motivation for PA, while factors such as depression, self-efficacy for PA, health care provider's autonomy support, and basic psychological needs satisfaction indirectly affected PA. Physical activity directly affected perceived health status and thigh circumference, while perceived sarcopenia risk and handgrip strength were directly affected by disease activity and age.
