Low physical activity among middle-aged type-2 diabetic outpatients of two peripheral hospitals in Bangladesh
Physical activity (PA) is an important lifestyle recommendation for managing type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, low PA among them is a global public health concern, including Bangladesh. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of low PA levels and its associated sociodemographic factors partic...

description | Physical activity (PA) is an important lifestyle recommendation for managing type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, low PA among them is a global public health concern, including Bangladesh. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of low PA levels and its associated sociodemographic factors particularly among middle-aged T2DM subjects, which is quite limited globally and unknown in Bangladesh. In this cross-sectional study, we conveniently recruited 356 T2DM subjects (aged 40–60 years) from outpatient departments of the corresponding diabetic hospitals from Pirojpur and Dinajpur, the southern and northern districts, respectively. The primary outcome was low PA (via metabolic equivalents <600), using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. Univariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were used to identify the factors associated with low PA. Among the participants (mean age 51.0±6.9 years), men and women were with almost equal proportions (48.9% and 51.1%, respectively). The prevalence (95% Confidence Intervals [CI]) of low PA was 34.8% (29.9–39.7). The median sitting or reclining time was 6 hours on a typical day. The odds (OR [95% CI]; P) of low PA was found to be significantly higher in respondents with primary or no education compared to the above-primary level, in unadjusted (1.6 [1.1–2.6]; 0.029) and adjusted (2.0 [1.1–3.7]; 0.028) associations both. In conclusion, over one-third of the middle-aged study subjects had a low PA level, which was associated with education. There is a high demand for designing and implementing PA enhancing interventions among them. |
