This study aimed to determine whether daily physical activity in young and older adults with T2DM is associated with diabetes control. A prospective correlational study involving 206 young (≤65 years) and older (>65 years) adults was conducted. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess their daily physical activity levels. Patients' mean HbA1c level was 7.8% (±1.4), and 95.9% of patients had unsatisfactory diabetes control. Performing more minutes per week of moderate-intensity daily physical activity was associated with a lower risk of glycemia in both young and older adults. Furthermore, moderate daily physical activity significantly lowered the risk of glycemia. Health personnel must encourage patients to engage in moderate daily physical activities to improve diabetes control.
本研究旨在确定 2 型糖尿病（T2DM）的年轻和老年患者的日常体力活动是否与糖尿病控制有关。进行了一项涉及 206 名年轻（≤65 岁）和老年（>65 岁）成年人的前瞻性相关研究。使用国际体力活动问卷评估他们的日常体力活动水平。患者的平均糖化血红蛋白（HbA1c）水平为 7.8%（±1.4），95.9%的患者血糖控制不理想。每周进行更多分钟的中强度日常体力活动与年轻和老年成年人的血糖风险降低相关。此外，日常进行适度的体力活动可显著降低血糖风险。医疗保健人员必须鼓励患者进行适度的日常体力活动，以改善糖尿病控制。
