This study was aimed at determining the effects of dancing on the health status of older persons. A pool of 111 community-dwelling subjects were allocated to either an intervention group (IG), which included 23 sessions of dance over 12 weeks, or a control group (CG). All participants were assessed at baseline and 12 weeks. Physical outcome measures included the 6-min timed walking test (6MWT), trunk flexibility, body composition, lower limb endurance and strength, balance, the timed up-and-go test (TUG), resting heart rate and blood pressure. Quality of life was assessed by the Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form (SF-36) questionnaire. The IG's views toward dancing were also evaluated at 12 weeks. Significant difference was observed between the groups in six outcome measures: mean change in resting heart rate, 6MWT, TUG, lower limb endurance and the 'general health' and 'bodily pain' domains of SF-36. The majority of the dance group felt the intervention improved their health status. These findings demonstrate that dancing has physical and psychological benefits, and should be promoted as a form of leisure activity for senior citizens.

这项研究旨在确定跳舞对老年人健康状况的影响。将111个社区居住的受试者分配给干预组 (IG) 或对照组 (CG),干预组 (IG) 包括12周的23次舞蹈。所有参与者均在基线和12周进行评估.身体结果指标包括6分钟定时步行测试 (6MWT),躯干柔韧性,身体成分,下肢耐力和力量,平衡,定时上行测试 (TUG),静息心率和血压。生活质量通过医疗结果调查 (SF-36) 问卷进行评估。IG对舞蹈的看法也在12周时进行了评估。在六个结果指标中,两组之间观察到显着差异: 静息心率,6MWT,TUG,下肢耐力以及SF-36的 “总体健康” 和 “身体疼痛” 领域的平均变化。大多数舞蹈团认为干预措施改善了他们的健康状况。这些发现表明,舞蹈具有身体和心理上的益处,应作为老年人休闲活动的一种形式加以推广。
