Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus causes multiple medical, psychological and sexual problems in both men and women. Sexual dysfunction is one of those problems that lead to a strong social and psychological problem which adversely affect marital relation and treatment outcome. The issue has not been well studied in Ethiopia; therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and factors related to sexual dysfunction in adult patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods Facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among adults with diabetes mellitus on follow-up at diabetic clinics of Mizan-Tepi University Teaching Hospital and Tepi General Hospital. A consecutive sampling technique was employed to select 423 study participants, and data were collected through interviewer-administered questionnaire and patients’ medical chart review. Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire-fourteen items (CSFQ-14) was used to measure sexual dysfunction. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression analyses were performed. Two tail tests at α of less 0.05 were used as a level of significance. Results A total of 398 diabetic patients were interviewed, with a 94% response rate. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction was 53.3%. Age of above 41 years (AOR: 3.98, 95% CI 2.32–6.85), lack of formal education (AOR: 3.20, 95% CI 1.60–6.39), divorced or widowed (AOR: 5.28, 95% CI 2.35–11.86), type 2 DM (AOR: 4.52, 95% CI 2.17–9.42), depression (AOR: 4.05, 95% CI 2.32–7.10), complications or co-morbidity (AOR: 2.05, 95% CI 1.18–3.58), and not doing physical activity (AOR: 1.62, 95% CI; 1.47–1.77) were significantly associated with sexual dysfunction among diabetes patients. Conclusions The prevalence of sexual dysfunction was as high as reports from other studies. Therefore, health care providers should include the issue of sexual health in their routine discussions with adult diabetes mellitus patients. Presence of depression, not doing physical activity and having complications or co-morbidity are modifiable factors associated with sexual dysfunction; therefore, they should be attended during care addressing sexual dysfunction.

Objetivo: relatar a experiência de sessões educacionais sobre saúde cardiovascular no domicílio de idosos com hipertensão arterial e/ou Dibetes Mellitus. Método: trata-se de um estudo descritivo, tipo relato de experiência, que consistiu na realização de sessões educativas sobre saúde cardiovascular no domicílio de 164 idosos hipertensos e/ou diabéticos. Analisaram-se os dados de modo descritivo. Resultados: notou-se que as idosas aderiram mais às atividades do que os idosos. Destacou-se que a maioria dos idosos pensava que a alimentação saudável era dispendiosa, impressionando-se com a explicação sobre os aditivos do cigarro e seus malefícios. Verifica-se que os idosos que não praticavam atividade física justificaram a ausência dessa prática pelo desinteresse e pela falta de entusiasmo. Conclusão: conclui-se que a visita domiciliar é uma estratégia para se desenvolver sessões educativas sobre saúde cardiovascular de idosos hipertensos e/ou diabéticos, principalmente os do sexo masculino e com risco cardiovascular aumentado.

Method: this is a descriptive study, of the experience report type, which consisted of educational sessions on cardiovascular health at home with 164 hypertensive and/or diabetic elderly people. The data were analyzed descriptively. Results: it was noted that the elderly adhered to the activities more than the elderly. It was highlighted that the majority of the elderly thought that healthy eating was expensive, being impressed with the explanation about cigarette additives and their harmful effects. It appears that the elderly who did not practice physical activity justified the absence of this practice due to lack of interest and lack of enthusiasm. Conclusion: it is concluded that home visit is a strategy to develop educational sessions on cardiovascular health of hypertensive and/or diabetic elderly, especially male and with increased cardiovascular risk.

Sirtuins (SIRTs) are seven nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent protein deacetylases enzymes (SIRT1–7) that play an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Among those, the most studied are SIRT1 and SIRT3, a nuclear SIRT and a mitochondrial SIRT, respectively, which significantly impact with an increase in mammals’ lifespan by modulating metabolic cellular processes. Particularly, when activated, both SIRT1 and 3 enhance pancreatic β-cells’ insulin release and reduce inflammation and oxidative stress pancreatic damage, maintaining then glucose homeostasis. Therefore, SIRT1 and 3 activators have been proposed to prevent and counteract metabolic age-related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Physical activity (PA) has a well-established beneficial effect on phenotypes of aging like β-cell dysfunction and diabetes mellitus. Recent experimental and clinical evidence reports that PA increases the expression levels of both SIRT1 and 3, suggesting that PA may exert its healthy contribute even by activating SIRTs. Therefore, in the present article, we discuss the role of SIRT1, SIRT3, and PA on β-cell function and on diabetes. We also discuss the possible interaction between PA and activation of SIRTs as a possible therapeutic strategy to maintain glucose hemostasis and to prevent T2DM and its complications, especially in the elderly population.

Aging is a period of change experienced by individuals both physically and psychologically due to a decrease in bodily functions. Therefore an effort is needed to maintain the health status of the elderly at the highest level in order to avoid disease. In order to stay active until old age, since young people need to maintain a healthy lifestyle by consuming foods that are nutritionally balanced, doing physical activity / exercise properly and regularly and not smoking. The general condition of the elderly in Jambi noble PSTW is still reluctant to regulate their healthy lifestyle such as regulating diet, rest and exercise so that it is susceptible to diabetes mellitus or diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, cancer or malignancy. The target expected in this activity, namely: Elderly is expected to be able to understand how a healthy lifestyle, the elderly can be independent in regulating their healthy lifestyle, the elderly can maintain / improve their health status. The extension activities will be carried out with the stages of: Distributing leaflets to the audience, Pasting posters, Directing the audience to the room to be counseled, Conducting the opening to be delivered by the moderator, Delivering counseling material to be delivered by the presenter, Evaluating the audience, Documenting activities. The participants of the counseling attended were 27 elderly where the initial target of the group of 30 elderly was not fulfilled because some of the elderly were still treated at the clinic. Out of the whole extension program activities have been carried out smoothly and well, both in terms of conducive space, competent presenter material and elderly who are active in the counseling.

Cardiovascular diseases create an important burden on the public health systems, especially in the elderly, mostly because this group of patients frequently suffer from multiple comorbidities. Accumulating cardiovascular risk factors during their lifetime has a detrimental effect on an older adult‘s health status. The modifiable and non-modifiable cardiovascular risk factors are very diverse, and are frequently in a close relationship with the metabolic comorbidities of the elderly, mainly obesity and Diabetes Mellitus. In this review, we aim to present the most important cardiovascular risk factors which link aging and cardiovascular diseases, starting from the pathophysiological links between these factors and the aging process. Next, we will further review the main interconnections between obesity and Diabetes Mellitus and cardiovascular diseases of the elderly. Lastly, we consider the most important aspects related to prevention through lifestyle changes and physical activity on the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases in the elderly.
