Based on our results, the MET score in patients with DM was significantly less than that in the non-DM subjects, and most of them were inactive same the other studies on DM were demonstrated the majority of them has low PA [ 20 ]. BMI in the DM and non-DM subjects was the same in this investigation, although other studies showed significantly high BMI in patients with DM [ 20 , 21 ].…”
