Summary

Brief Summary: This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether a 12-week multi-component exercise program (combining waltz, resistance training, and agility training) can improve the physical, psychological, and cognitive function of women aged 65 and under with dyslipidemia. Key research questions include: Does this intervention lower lipid levels (e.g., total cholesterol, triglycerides) and improve body composition (e.g., body fat percentage, lean muscle mass)? Compared to a non-exercise control group, does this intervention enhance cardiovascular health, balance, mental health, and cognitive function? Researchers will compare outcomes in the exercise intervention group and the non-exercise control group to assess the effectiveness of the program. Study Procedure: Participants will: attend supervised exercise classes three times a week for 12 weeks (approximately 90 minutes per class). The program includes: - Waltz training (basic steps and choreographed dance movements), - Resistance band exercises (targeting major muscle groups), - Agility and balance training modules. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will include: - Lipid analysis, - Body composition analysis, - Cardiovascular health and balance tests, - Standardized mental health and cognitive assessments.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Multicomponent Exercise	Participants in this group will participate in a 12-week multi-component exercise program, three times a week for 90 minutes each time. Each session includes a 5-minute warm-up, 50 minutes of waltz dancing (learning and practicing steps), 30 minutes of resistance band exercises (1-3 sets of 8-16 repetitions at 10-20 grams of maximum resting resistance), and 5 minutes of cool-down stretching. Exercise intensity will gradually increase from 50% to 75% of maximum heart rate (HRmax) (RPE 10-13, METs 2.0-6.0). The program aims to improve lipid profile, body composition, cardiovascular health, balance, mental health, and cognitive function in women aged 65 and under with dyslipidemia.
OTHER	daily activity	Only daily activities are included.
