The effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications on physical and pulmonary functions: A case–control study

Abstract

Type 2 DM was associated with lower functional capacity and higher rates of comorbid diseases. Therefore, potential causes of these parameters should be considered in the rehabilitation of type 2 diabetic patients.

Tele-Assessment of Functional Capacity through the Six-Minute Walk Test in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2: Validity and Reliability of Repeated Measurements

“…Previous research has been limited to CB assessment of functional capacity in diabetic patients using the 6MWT and other exercise tests [ 3 , 11 , 39 , 40 ]. The 6MWT is a suitable tool for assessing functional capacity in diabetic patients due to its good acceptability and its easy incorporation into daily living activities; thus appearing as the best among the current walking tests [ 8 ].…”

“…Functional capacity is a significant predictor of mortality and morbidity in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) [ 1 ]. Several studies have shown the reduced functional capacity of patients with DM2 compared with the healthy population [ 2 , 3 ]. Although peak oxygen uptake during cardiopulmonary exercise testing is the gold standard for evaluating aerobic functional capacity, it strains the patient’s circulatory system; thus, it is not recommended for patients with DM2 [ 4 ].…”

Relationship between pulmonary function, cardiorrespiratory fitness, and the acute effect of physical exercise on the oxidative stress of diabetic individuals / Relação entre a função pulmonar, aptidão cardiorrespiratória, e o efeito agudo do exercício físico sobre o estresse oxidativo de indivíduos diabéticos

“…A DM pode associar-se à distúrbios tanto no metabolismo de carboidratos, quanto no de gorduras e proteínas, alterando a produção de energia utilizada para a realização das atividades diárias, e consequentemente, diminuindo a aptidão cardiorrespiratória (KUZIEMSKI;WOJCIECH;JASSEM, 2019;OKUR et al, 2018;TANGVARASITTICHAI, 2015). Tai et al (TAI et al, 2017), demostrou em seu estudo indivíduos diabéticos apresentam uma redução no volume residual pulmonar, capacidade vital forçada e pico de fluxo expiratório, além de menor pressão expiratória o que indica fraqueza muscular expiratória.…”

Pre- and postoperative respiratory muscle strength, body mass index and fasting glucose profile of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus submitted to metabolic surgery

“…The lung has been recognized as a target organ in diabetes mellitus as a consequence of alterations secondary to chronic hyperglycemia. The pulmonary complications in diabetes mellitus include a reduction in lung volumes, a decline in carbon monoxide diffusing capacity, decreased elastic lung recoil, and reduced inspiratory muscle strength [2].…”
