Metabolic Syndrome Severity score

1. Sudarshan kriya yoga decreases Metabolic Syndrome Severity score in humans.

   “Improvements consistent across PP and ITT occurred in waist circumference (p=0.025/0.035), MetS severity score (MetSSS) (p=0.020/0.014)”

1. Superoxide dismutase is associated with Metabolic Syndrome Severity score in humans (r=-0.55, p=0.001).

   “Within SKY, changes in HF power and superoxide dismutase (SOD) correlated inversely with changes in MetSSS (r=-0.36, p=0.039; r=-0.55, p=0.001).”
