ObjectiveInvestigating the association between total physical activity, physical activity in different domains and sedentary time with clustered metabolic risk in patients with type 2 diabetes from Jiangsu province, China.DesignInterview-based cross-sectional study conducted between December 2013 and January 2014.Setting44 selected townships across two cities, Changshu and Huai’an, in Jiangsu province.Participants20 340 participants selected using stratified cluster-randomised sampling and an interviewer-managed questionnaire.MethodsWe constructed clustered metabolic risk by summing sex-specific standardised values of waist circumference, fasting triacylglycerol, fasting plasma glucose, systolic blood pressure and the inverse of blood high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol). Self-reported total physical activity included occupation, commuting and leisure-time physical activity. The un-standardised regression coefficient [B] and its 95% CI were calculated using multivariate linear regression analyses.ResultsThis study included 17 750 type 2 diabetes patients (aged 21–94 years, 60.3% female). The total (B=−0.080; 95% CI: −0.114 to −0.046), occupational (B=−0.066; 95% CI: −0.101 to− 0.031) and leisure-time physical activity (B=−0.041; 95% CI: −0.075 to −0.007), and sedentary time (B=0.117; 95% CI: 0.083 to 0.151) were associated with clustered metabolic risk. Total physical activity, occupational physical activity and sedentary time were associated with waist circumference, triacylglycerol and HDL-cholesterol, but not with systolic blood pressure. Commuting physical activity and sedentary time were significantly associated with triacylglycerol (B=−0.012; 95% CI: −0.019 to −0.005) and fasting plasma glucose (B=0.008; 95% CI: 0.003 to 0.01), respectively. Leisure-time physical activity was only significantly associated with systolic blood pressure (B=−0.239; 95% CI: −0.542 to− 0.045).ConclusionsTotal, occupational and leisure-time physical activity were inversely associated with clustered metabolic risk, whereas sedentary time increased metabolic risk. Commuting physical activity was inversely associated with triacylglycerol. These findings suggest that increased physical activity in different domains and decreased sedentary time may have protective effects against metabolic risk in type 2 diabetes patients.

The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and common risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes in community-dwelling adults with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). LTPA was measured using the Physical Activity Recall Assessment for People with SCI in 76 men and women with chronic (≥1 year) paraplegia or tetraplegia, living in or near Hamilton, Ontario. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, body composition (fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM)), blood pressure, and biochemical data were collected. Thirty-seven percent (n = 28 participants) were inactive, reporting no LTPA whatsoever, and were compared with an equal-sized group consisting of the most active study participants (≥25 min of LTPA per day). After adjusting for significant covariates, BMI (18.7%), %FM (19.4%), and C-reactive protein (143%) were all lower, and %FFM was higher (7.2%), in active participants (all p ≤ 0.05). Ten percent of active participants vs. 33% of inactive participants were insulin resistant (p = 0.03). Waist circumference (17.6%) and systolic blood pressure (15.3%) were lower in active vs. inactive participants with paraplegia (both p ≤ 0.05), but not tetraplegia. In conclusion, greater daily LTPA is associated with lower levels of selected CVD and type 2 diabetes risk factors in individuals living with SCI. Whether this relationship translates into a lower incidence of these chronic diseases has yet to be determined.

Abstract Background Patients with severe mental illness (SMI) are at increased risk of developing non-communicable diseases that could cause significantly lower life expectancy when compared to the general population. This study aimed to assess the magnitude and predictors of undiagnosed type-2 diabetes and hypertension among adult patients with SMI on antipsychotic treatments. Methods A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 237 psychiatric patients from January to June 2019 at Hawassa University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Hawassa, Southern Ethiopia. All relevant information was collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire with a systematic random sampling technique. A total of 4–5 mL of overnight fasting venous blood was collected from each patient. Serum lipid profiles and fasting blood sugar (FBS) were measured using the A25™ BioSystem Random Access chemistry analyzer. To identify predictors of hyperglycemia and raised blood pressure, multiple linear regression analysis was done using SPSS version 23. Statistical significance was set at p value < 5%. Results From 247 patients with SMI approached, 237 (58.2% male and 41.8% females) were take part in the study giving a response rate of 95.9%. The overall 31.2% (95%CI: 24.1–37.6) and 27.8% (95%CI: 23.2–33.4) of patients had hyperglycemia and raised BP. The magnitude of prediabetes and type-2 diabetes was 24.9% (95%CI:19.4–30.4), and 6.3% (95% CI: 3.4–10.1), respectively. While the magnitude of prehypertension and hypertension was 23.2% (95%CI: 17.3–29.5) and 4.6% (95%CI: 2.1–8.0), respectively. In multiple linear regression analyses: age, HDL-cholesterol, physical activity and Triglyceride/HDL-cholesterol ratio were positively correlated with FBS. While, HDL-cholesterol, waist circumference, physical activity, total cholesterol/HDL-c ratio, and body mass index were positively correlated with systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Conclusion The findings indicate a need to assess blood glucose and blood pressure at baseline before the commencement of any antipsychotic therapy and during therapeutic follow up to manage any increasing trends. Moreover, close monitoring of patients with severe mental illness on antipsychotic therapy is exclusively recommended.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main funding source(s): Health Service Executive Health and Wellbeing, Saolta University Healthcare Group OnBehalf Croí the West of Ireland Cardiac Foundation, Galway, Ireland and the National Institute for Prevention and Cardiovascular Health Introduction People living with obesity are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). While development of obesity is multifactorial, lifestyle modification is fundamental to obesity treatment and risk factor reduction. We sought to measure the effects of a structured lifestyle modification programme on the physical and mental health of people living with obesity. Purpose This study investigated the impact of a 10-week, community based, lifestyle modification programme on CVD risk factors in people living with obesity (BMI ≥35kg/m2 with a co-morbidity or BMI ≥40kg/m2) who were referred from a specialist bariatric service. Methods Delivered by an interdisciplinary team (Nurse, Dietitian & Physiotherapist) the programme included weekly group-based exercise sessions and health promotion workshops. A wide range of topics were addressed in workshops, including nutrition, food labels, emotional eating, physical activity, sedentary behaviour, stress management and CVD risk factor reduction. Outcomes were measured at initial and end of programme assessments. Results 1122 people participated in the intervention between 2013 and 2019 with 78% (n = 877) completing the programme. At initial assessment 26.7% of participants had a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes; 37.3% were at high or very high risk of CVD; 44.7% were hypertensive and 31.4% had a history of depression. Mean BMI was 47.0kg/m2 with 56.4% of participants having a BMI &gt;45kg/m2. The intervention had significant positive impacts on key outcomes such as psychosocial health, lipid profiles, blood pressure, adiposity and cardiovascular fitness. One of the most significant outcomes observed was the improvement in psycho-social health. Scores of anxiety and depression, assessed using the HADS, decreased by 1.5 and 2.2 points respectively (p &lt;0.001). Mean EQ-VAS score increased by 11 points (p &lt;0.001). There were significant changes in total cholesterol levels with a mean reduction in total cholesterol from 4.69mmol/l to 4.54mmol/l (p &lt;0.001) and LDL cholesterol from 2.79mmol/l to 2.64mmol/l (p &lt;0.001). There were also significant improvements in blood pressure with mean systolic blood pressure reducing by 15.7mmHg (p &lt;0.001) and diastolic blood pressure reducing by 1.4mmHg (p &lt;0.001). For people with type 2 diabetes, there was an increase in those achieving the recommended HbA1c target (&lt;53mmol/l) from 47.6% to 57.4% (p &lt;0.001). Mean reduction in bodyweight was 2.0kg (p &lt;0.001), with 27.2% achieving a weight loss of &gt;3% of initial bodyweight. The percentage of participants achieving the recommended physical activity guidelines increased by 31% (p &lt;0.001). Conclusions A lifestyle modification programme delivered by an interdisciplinary team, aimed at individuals living with obesity, is not only acceptable to participants but also significantly reduces CVD risk factors. These findings should influence the design of future programmes and healthcare policies in Ireland and abroad.

ObjectiveThis study examined the impact of a multicomponent intervention to increase physical activity (PA) in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Oman.Research design and methodsThis is a cluster randomized controlled trial in eight primary health centers. Participants were physically inactive, aged ≥18 years, and with no contraindication to PA. Patients attending intervention health centers (n=4) received the ‘MOVEdiabetes’ intervention, which consisted of personalized, individual face-to-face consultations by dietitians. Pedometers and monthly telephone WhatsApp messages were also used. Patients attending comparison health centers received usual care. The primary outcome was change in PA [Metabolic Equivalent(MET).min/week] after 12 months assessed by the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. The secondary outcomes were changes in daily step counts, sitting time, weight, body mass index, glycated hemoglobin, blood pressure and lipids.ResultsOf the 232 participants (59.1% female, mean (SD) age 44.2 (8.1) years), 75% completed the study. At 12 months, the mean change in MET.min/week was +631.3 (95% CI 369.4 to 893.2) in the intervention group (IG) vs +183.2 (95% CI 83.3 to 283.0) in the comparison group, with a significant between-group difference of +447.4 (95% CI 150.7 to 744.1). The odds of meeting PA recommendations were 1.9 times higher in the IG (95% CI 1.2 to 3.3). Significant between-group differences in favor of IG were detected for mean steps/day (+757, 95% CI 18 to 1531) and sitting time hours/ per day (−1.5, 95% CI −2.4 to −0.7). Clinical measures of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and triglycerides also showed significant intervention effects.Conclusions‘MOVEdiabetes’ was effective in increasing PA, the likelihood of meeting PA recommendations, and providing cardioprotective benefits in adults with T2D attending primary care.

Background:Physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of chronic disease. This study describes the relationship between meeting the guidelines for physical activity described in Canada’s Physical Activity Guide and heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and low levels of general health.Methods:Leisure-time energy expenditure (LTEE) was calculated from leisure-time physical activities reported by adults who participated in the 2007 Canadian Community Health Survey. Respondents were classified as meeting the guidelines for physical activity or not, and were stratified by sex into quartiles of LTEE. Logistic regression was used to determine the odds for all conditions associated with not meeting the guidelines and by quartile of LTEE, adjusting for covariates.Results:The odds of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and fair/poor health were significantly higher among those not meeting the guidelines for both sexes and for high blood pressure among women. Significantly higher odds were seen between the lowest and highest quartiles of LTEE for type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and across all quartiles for obesity and fair/poor health for both sexes.Conclusions:Canadian adults meeting the physical activity guidelines have lower odds of chronic diseases and fair/poor health than those not meeting the guidelines.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between usual physical activity and 24 h blood pressure (BP) profile in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). This is a cross-sectional study of 151 participants with type 2 DM. Usual physical activity was assessed by step counting and self-reported questionnaire. BP was measured in office and by 24 h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM; 24 h, daytime and nighttime). Mean participant age was 61.1 ± 8.4 years, 64% was women, and mean duration of diabetes was 14.3 ± 8.5 years. Ninety-two percent of participants had hypertension, and office BP was 138 ± 18/78 ± 10 mmHg. Inverse correlations were observed between step count and 24 h BP (systolic, r=−0.186; p=0.022), daytime BP (systolic, r=−0.198; p=0.015), and nighttime BP (pulse pressure, r=−0.190; p=0.019). People were categorized into tertiles of daily step count, and the 1st tertile had higher 24 h systolic BP, daytime systolic BP, daytime mean BP, and daytime systolic BP load than those in the other tertiles, even after adjusting for age and HbA1c. Participants with type 2 DM and low levels of physical activity exhibit higher 24 h and daytime systolic ambulatory BP values as compared with those who performed more steps per day, even after adjustments for confounding factors.

Introduction: Determine whether socio-demographic, habits and risk factors are associated with a better tensional control in type 2 diabetes in primary care patients in order to identify a specific target population for compensatory interventions improving diabetes control and reducing its morbi-mortality.Material and Methods: Cross-sectional study in primary care. Randomized type 2 diabetes patient data collection by their volunteer family doctors, proportionally stratified from the 5 Portuguese continental regions. Variables: blood pressure, age, gender, education, diabetes duration, HbA1c, smoking habits, weight, waist circumference, physical activity and adherence to medication. Bivariate and logistic regression analysis to evaluate each measured variable’s independent association with uncontrolled blood pressure (≥ 140/90).Results: 709 patients were included in the study, 60.2% men, mean age 66.12 ± 10.47 years. In logistic regression analysis, the factors independently associated to uncontrolled BP were lower education (p = 0.014), shorter diabetes duration (p = 0.002), higher waist circumference (p < 0.001), higher pulse pressure (p < 0.001), higher physical activity level (p = 0.043) and being a smoker (p < 0.001).Discussion: The main limitations are the fact that the sample was not totaly random and included only primary care patients, a possible inter-observer bias and being a cross-sectional study, thus not providing information on temporal relation or causality.Conclusion: The sub-group of people with diabetes identified to have worse tensional control should have a different and more intensive approach in primary care. We recommend further longitudinal and population based confirmatory research.

Aim. To evaluate the basic clinical and laboratory parameters and their relationship with the 14-year risk of cardiovascular death in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).Material and methods. A prospective case-control study of a sample of Novosibirsk residents with T2D was performed. An initial examination was conducted as part of the HAPIEE project in 2003-2005. The follow-up period lasted until 2017 and amounted to 13,7±0,7 years. The case group consisted of 145 people (mean age — 62,0±5,7 years) with recorded cardiovascular death. Control group — 272 people (mean age — 57,9±6,6 years) without recorded death as of December 31, 2017. Persons with a history of non-fatal myocardial infarction and/or stroke at the initial examination were excluded. Blood pressure (BP), biochemical, anthropometric and socio-demographic data were determined. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association of clinical and laboratory parameters with the risk of cardiovascular death.Results. T2D subjects with recorded cardiovascular death at the initial examination had a longer duration of the disease, higher fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and anthropometric parameters (body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) (in  women)), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). In individuals of both sexes, the risk of cardiovascular death increased 2,2 times with WC >95 cm, 2,3 times with an increased WC/HC ratio, 2,2 times with a BMI ≥30 kg/m2, 1,9 times with physical activity <3 hours/week, 2 times for smokers and those with a single marital status, 3,5 times for hypertensive people, 2 times with FPG ≥7,5 mmol/L and longer duration of diabetes.Conclusion. Fourteen-year follow-up revealed that individuals with T2D have associations of cardiovascular death with both conventional risk factors such as hypertension, abdominal obesity, low level of physical activity, smoking, single marital status, and diabetes-related ones — FPG and the duration of diabetes.
