Physical activity is one of the most important regimens for the treatment of diabetes. Hence, we aimed to examine the association between physical activity knowledge (PAK), knowledge and attitude on diabetes among rural T2DM patients.
The PAK, knowledge and attitude on diabetes were targeted to evaluate in rural Indian T2DM patients.
A cross-sectional community-based survey was carried out with eighty-four patients with known T2DM in rural population of India.
Among 84 patients, 46 were overweight/obese and 38 patients with normal weight were participated in our study. The odds of smoking were found to be a significant socio-demographic risk factor (OR: 4.42, 95% CI 0.93-20.33 and P<0.001) compared to non-smokers. The PAK categories such as A, B & D had associated with BMI. The OR, 95% CI and P. Value are (5.610, 2.18-14.38 and P<0.001; 1.72, 0.72-4.12 and P 0.030; 2.55, 1.05-6.20 and P 0.047) except in category C. Iilliterates, low annual income, poor knowledge on T2DM and negative attitude, OR (4.50; 12.87; 10.80 and 47.66) were reported disagree or don't know with PAK questionnaire.
The results have impact on the design of new education programs will assist in preventing and managing complications related to T2DM.
身体活动是糖尿病治疗的最重要方案之一。因此，我们旨在研究身体活动知识（PAK）、农村 T2DM 患者对糖尿病的知识和态度之间的关系。
旨在评估印度农村 T2DM 患者的 PAK、糖尿病知识和态度。
在印度农村人口中进行了一项横断面社区基础调查，共纳入 84 例已知 T2DM 的患者。
在 84 例患者中，46 例超重/肥胖，38 例体重正常。与不吸烟者相比，吸烟被认为是一个显著的社会人口学危险因素（OR：4.42，95%CI 0.93-20.33，P<0.001）。PAK 类别 A、B 和 D 与 BMI 相关。OR、95%CI 和 P 值分别为（5.610，2.18-14.38，P<0.001；1.72，0.72-4.12，P=0.030；2.55，1.05-6.20，P=0.047），除类别 C 外。不识字、低年收入、对 T2DM 的知识差和消极态度与 PAK 问卷的回答不一致或不知道（OR：4.50；12.87；10.80 和 47.66）。
这些结果对新教育计划的设计有影响，将有助于预防和管理与 T2DM 相关的并发症。
