Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of lifestyle intervention on metabolic indexes in rural patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
MethodTen natural villages in Chaoshui Town, Penglai City, Shandong Province were randomly selected to screen the villagers over 50 years old. With the natural village as a group, 12 T2DM patients (a total of 120) were randomly selected from each group as the object of study. All the subjects were given life style intervention, and the differences of waist circumference, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), motor function, body composition, fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c) were compared before and 3 months after intervention. Pairedt-test was used to analyze the related data.
ResultA total of 108 subjects completed the experiment. After lifestyle intervention, the waist circumference, BMI, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c decreased significantly (t=1.84 to 10.02,all P<0.01). The indexes of motor function and body composition (lower limb muscle distribution coefficient, fat distribution, lower limb nerve and body reaction speed, etc) after intervention were significantly improved as compared with those before intervention (t=-10.64 to 9.56, P<0.01).
ConclusionLifestyle intervention can significantly improve the metabolic indexes of rural patients with type 2 diabetes, such as waist circumference, BMI, HbA1c, body composition, exercise function and so on.
