Yoga research for metabolic syndrome

To review the literature on yoga interventions for metabolic syndrome, we searched literature databases Medline via EBSCO, CINAHL, and PubMed using a keyword of “yoga” and limited results by samples with metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, glucose intolerance, or high risk for T2DM within the past 10 years. A total of eight studies were identified, but one study (Khatri, Mathur, Gahlot, Jain, & Agrawal, 2007) was excluded due to lack of intervention information. Table 12.2 (p. 264) summarizes characteristics of reviewed studies. Out of seven, two studies (Hegde, Adhikari, Shetty, Manjrekar, & D’Souza, 2013; Kim, Ryu, Kim, & Song, 2013) were conducted outside the United States (in India and South Korea). Sample size ranged from 23 to 180. There are only a few studies using yoga in metabolic syndrome and limited consensus on metabolic syndrome definitions among the reviewed studies. Out of seven, four studies included people with metabolic syndrome defined by either National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) or International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria.
