Effect of Adding a Treadmill Exercise Program to Levothyroxine Treatment in Elderly Women with Hypothyroidism, Glaucoma, and Fatty Liver Disease

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the added benefits of a physical activity program for older women who have subclinical hypothyroidism, glaucoma, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This study aims to understand how exercise combined with usual thyroid hormone treatment may affect these conditions, particularly focusing on eye pressure and other health measures. The research involves elder females aged 65 to 75 years and is sponsored by Cairo University. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will receive their regular levothyroxine treatment along with a treadmill exercise program three times a week for six months. The second group will receive only the levothyroxine treatment without the exercise program. This comparison will help determine the effects of adding physical activity to the usual care. During the six-month study, participants will have various health assessments, including eye pressure measurement, body weight, waist size, blood pressure, blood tests for liver enzymes and lipids, thyroid hormone levels, and quality of life surveys related to glaucoma and physical and mental health. These evaluations will help researchers monitor changes and safety throughout the study period.
