Article Abstract
To quantify the effect of taekwondo as an intervention on the indicators of metabolic syndrome and identify an intervention plan with the optimal effects. Combining the Cnki.net, Wanfang, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, KISS, RISS, and DBPIA databases, this paper retrieved relevant references in Chinese, English, and Korean, applied Review Manager 5.4 software to evaluate the methodological quality of the included references according to the Cochrane manual, and utilized Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 3.7 to perform statistical analyses. A total of 45 references and 1079 related subjects were included in the analysis. The results of the meta-analysis showed that taekwondo has a beneficial effect on all indicators of metabolic syndrome (Hedges' g [effect size] = -0.615, -0.672, -0.497, -0.785, -0.591, and 0.435; < 0.05). Subgroup analysis revealed the superior intervention effect of taekwondo on metabolic syndrome in women compared to men, middle-aged and elderly compared to other age groups, and abnormal metabolic syndrome indicators compared to normal values. Moreover, the best results were obtained for longer intervention durations-12 weeks-three times per week, for 40-50 min per session. In addition, the combination of intervention types (poomsae, kick, and taekwondo gymnastics) showed optimal effects. The exercise intensity should consider the characteristics of the intervention object and be generally set to medium or high intensity. Taekwondo can effectively improve metabolic syndrome, as evidenced by decreased body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and triglyceride (TG) levels and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level. Taekwondo had the greatest effect on quinquagenarian women with abnormal levels of metabolic syndrome indicators. To maximize the intervention effect of taekwondo on metabolic syndrome, an exercise prescription of high-intensity poomsae, kick, and taekwondo gymnastics performed in 40-50 min sessions, three times weekly for 12 weeks is recommended.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with neuro-immune - metabolic - oxidative (NIMETOX) pathways.
Aims: To examine the connections among NIMETOX pathways in outpatient MDD (OMDD) with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS); and to determine the prevalence of NIMETOX aberrations in a cohort of OMDD patients.
Methods: We included 67 healthy controls and 66 OMDD patients and we assessed various NIMETOX pathways.

Aim: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its associated risk factors in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent treatment for IBD at Jordan University Hospital between January 2013 and 2022. Case finding methods and clinical chart reviews were used to evaluate the clinical profile of patients with IBD.
Changes in antral follicle dynamics following weight loss in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Study Question: Does weight loss from a hypocaloric dietary intervention improve antral follicle dynamics in women with PCOS?
Summary Answer: During a 3-month hypocaloric dietary intervention, women with PCOS who experienced clinically meaningful weight loss showed more organized antral follicle development including fewer recruitment events, but no change in the overall frequency of selection, dominance, or ovulation.
What Is Known Already: There is a spectrum of disordered antral follicle development in women with PCOS including excessive follicle recruitment and turnover, decreased frequency of selection and dominance, and failure of ovulation. Lifestyle intervention aimed at weight loss is recommended to improve metabolic health in women with PCOS yet benefits on ovarian follicle development and ovulation are unclear.

Background: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) increases with aging, significantly contributing to the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This study aimed to investigate over-time changes in the prevalence of MetS and its components among the elderly population of Iran.
Methods: We analyzed data from the 2016 and 2021 national STEPwise approach to non-communicable disease risk factor Surveillance (STEPS) for participants aged ≥65 who completed all three survey steps (questionnaire-based assessments, physical measurements, and laboratory tests) with no missing data on MetS components.
