- Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To conduct a Meta-analysis of evaluating the effects of whole-body vibration training on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.METHODS:We searched CNKI,WanFang,PubMed,and Web of Science for studies on whole body vibration training to improve bone mineral density in postmenopausal women from database inception to April 3,2024,with the search terms whole-body vibration training,postmenopausal women,osteoporosis,and bone mineral density.Included indicators were lumbar spine(L1-L4,L2-L4),femoral neck,greater trochanter,Ward's triangle,and whole-body bone density.Revman 5.3 and R 4.3.3 were used for data analysis.RESULTS:(1)A total of 28 randomized controlled studies were included.(2)Vibration intensity:Vibration frequency＞20 Hz and amplitude＞2 mm could significantly increase the bone mineral density of the femoral neck,greater trochanter,Ward region,L1-L4 and L2-L4 lumbar vertebrae(P＜0.01,I2＞50％).(3)Training period and frequency:2-3 times per week,48-96 times per week,the bone mineral density at each site increased significantly(P＜0.05,I2＜50％).(4)Movement patterns:Dynamic training significantly increased bone mineral density in the femoral neck(P=0.03,/2=0％),greater trochanter(P＜0.001,I2=0％)and Ward region(P＜0.001,I2=0％);static squat significantly increased bone mineral density in L1-L4 lumbar spines(P＜0.001,I2=0％);and static multiple squatting was effective in improving bone mineral density in L2-L4 lumbar spines(P＜0.01,/2=0％)and the femoral neck(P=0.04,I2=34％).CONCLUSION:Whole-body vibration training has potential in improving bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.Recommended vibration frequencies and amplitudes are not less than 20 Hz and 2 mm,respectively,with no less than 48 training sessions.Static training is recommended for improving lumbar bone mineral density,while dynamic training is recommended for improving hip bone mineral density.
