| الوصف: | Objective: To assess the physical activity level (PAL) and its impact on glycemic control in patients with T2DM. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Darul Sehat Hospital, Karachi. Period: February 2021 to June 2021. Material & Methods: Patients with T2DM were included through convenience sampling method. The sample size was calculated by Open Epi Version 3 assuming 69% frequency of outcome in population, margin of error 5% and confidence level 95%. PAL was assessed by using the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF). Results: Out of 330 patients 225(68.2%) were female and 105(31.8%) were males. The mean age of subjects was 55.2 ± 8.32 and the mean duration of diabetes 9.6 ± 6.4 years. Of the patients, 122 (37%) had low, 175(53%) had moderate, and 33 (10%) had high PAL. The mean sitting duration was 527.4 (95% CI 516 to 538) minutes. The mean weekly total energy was 938 ± 1171 MET-min/week. Conclusion: Our majority of patients were engaged in moderate physical activity level. The study results imply convincing impact of physical activity level and glycemic control. Women and older age Pakistani diabetic patients do not meet the physical activity recommendations. |
