The outcome indicators of cognitive function of interest were the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Data extraction and synthesis<\/jats:title>\n \n Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data and evaluated the quality of the included studies, with disagreements resolved by a third researcher. The\n Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions<\/jats:italic>\n was used to assess the risk of bias. Meta-analysis was performed by Review Manager V.5.3 software. Random-effect models were used for meta-analysis.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n A total of 1680 patients who participated in 20 RCTs were included in this study. Based on outcomes of MMSE analysis, the aerobic exercise, which was beneficial for global cognitive function in MCI patients, included multicomponent aerobic exercise (MD=1.79, 95%\u2009CI (1.41 to 2.17), p<0.01) and mind\u2013body exercise (MD=1.28, 95%\u2009CI (0.83 to 1.74), p<0.01). The results of the meta-analysis of conventional aerobic exercise (MD=0.51, 95%\u2009CI (0.09 to 0.93), p=0.02) turned out to be statistically insignificant after sensitivity analysis (MD=0.14, 95% CI (-0.47 to 0.75), p=0.65). With the evaluation of MoCA, multicomponent aerobic exercise (MD=5.74, 95% CI (5.02 to 6.46), p<0.01), mind\u2013body exercise (MD=1.29, 95% CI (0.67 to 1.90), p<0.01) and conventional aerobic exercise (MD=2.06, 95% CI (1.46 to 2.65), p<0.01) were showed significant beneficial effects for the patient. However, there was a high degree of heterogeneity between the results of multicomponent aerobic exercise (MMSE) and conventional aerobic exercise (MoCA), which was analysed and explored.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n In general, multicomponent aerobic exercise and mind\u2013body exercise were beneficial in improving global cognitive function in the elderly with MCI. Nevertheless, the improvement effect of mind\u2013body exercise is more reliable compared with multicomponent aerobic exercise and conventional aerobic exercise.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n PROSPERO registration number<\/jats:title>\n CRD42022327386.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2022-067293","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,31]],"date-time":"2023-07-31T07:40:15Z","timestamp":1690789215000},"page":"e067293","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Effects of different aerobic exercises on the global cognitive function of the elderly with mild cognitive impairment: a meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0621-4029","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Conglin","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"},{"name":"Rehabilitation Medicine Academy, Weifang Medical University, Weifang, Shandong, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weishuang","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"},{"name":"Rehabilitation Medicine Academy, Weifang Medical University, Weifang, Shandong, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"},{"name":"Rehabilitation Medicine Academy, Weifang Medical University, Weifang, Shandong, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoshuang","family":"Xi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Rehabilitation Medicine Academy, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Second Clinical Medical Academy, Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine, Kunming, Yunnan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9134-8218","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Weijun","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Rehabilitation, Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121605310034000_13.6.e067293.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Reinvigorating the public health response to dementia.
