Gender-based comparison of factors affecting regular exercise of patients with Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) based on the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES)

Abstract

Objective This study aimed to determine the gender factors that influence regular exercise in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in Korea. Methods A total of 1,432 patients with NIDDM were recruited using raw data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey conducted between 2016 and 2018. SAS 9.4 was adopted for data analyses, and the distributional difference was measured with multinomial logistic regression and Rao-Scott x2 statistics to identify the factors that influence the regular physical activities of patients. that the analysis only provides associations. Results Based on general characteristics, health behaviors, and conditions, patients with NIDDM in Korea were less physically active. In addition, patients with higher educational attainment, higher income, and higher subjective health conditions had a higher odds ratio for regular exercise. Meanwhile, the ratio was lower for smokers and those stressed up. Conclusion A professional guide for the initial phase of training and consistent management is required to increase the involvement of patients with NIDDM in regular exercise. Therefore, it is important to maintain their motivation to continue exercising. Rather than providing a universal guideline, it is more important to provide customized programs and management plans which reflect factors that influence their engagement in physical activities, such as individual physical strength, stress level, alcohol consumption, and arthritis.

A Systematic Review of Long-term Antidepressant Outcomes in Comorbid Depression and Type 2 Diabetes

“…Another option to identify diabetes type may be based on assumptions made from the medications prescribed [38]. The introduction of “Type 2” diabetes in 1998, replaced “non-insulin dependent diabetes” [96] – a term which is still used today [97], [98]. However, this terminology may lead to unreliable definitions of diabetes type: Many individuals with T2DM progress to insulin therapy [99], and other diabetes types or conditions may use oral antidiabetic medication such as metformin [100].…”

Diabetes and physical activity: A prospective cohort study

“…This gender difference in physical activity is well-known and exists worldwide [ 41 ], with potential reasons including the lack of investment in women’s sports and the sociocultural norms resulting in reduced discretionary leisure time for women [ 42 ]. Women with diabetes may report lower levels of subjective health along with higher levels of stress and musculoskeletal pain than men, which could also adversely impact physical activity [ 43 ].…”

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) designed by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention is one such ongoing population-level survey that has become increasingly popular among rehabilitation researchers to answer clinically meaningful questions in rehabilitation [1][2][3][4][5][6] owing to their robust methods of survey design and nationally representative data. 7 The NHANES program began in the early 1960s and examines a nationally representative sample of about 5000 persons each year.…”

“…The use of large national surveys in research has become increasingly popular owing to better access to large patient-level data for analysis, often overcoming the challenges of patient recruitment in clinical trials.
