The effects of functional exercise on healthy aging in women over 60 years of age: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Functional exercise may be a beneficial strategy to enhance physical and psychosocial capacities in women over 60 years of age. It may also contribute to modulating inflammatory and immunosenescence-related responses; however, the evidence remains limited and should be interpreted with caution. Further high-quality studies are needed to support its integration into healthy aging and preventive care programs.
