Abstrakt: Objectives: The objectives of the study were to investigate the neuromusculoskeletal complications of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and their associated factors, including the level of physical activity (PA) and clinicodemographic characteristics.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional analysis, we included 370 participants diagnosed with T2DM for no <1 year who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic and clinical characteristics were noted and a thorough clinical examination was performed on all the participants. International PA Questionnaire-Short Form was used to evaluate the level of PA of the participants. The continuous data is presented as mean ± SD and the categorical data is presented as the number of participants (n) and percentage (%). A logistic regression model was used to investigate the predictors for the prevalence of the complications.
Results: The mean duration of T2DM was 7.32 ± 5.53 years and the mean hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) level (%) was 8.16±1.67. A majority of the participants were having uncontrolled diabetes with an HbA1c level ≥7.5% ( n = 190; 51.35%). The level of PA was low in a substantial proportion of the participants ( n = 276; 74.59%). A total of 162 (43.78%) participants were diagnosed with neuromusculoskeletal complications. Low back pain was the most common complication and degenerative disk disease was the most common diagnosis overall. Longer duration of diabetes, poor glycemic control, and low PA were associated with the prevalence of neuromusculoskeletal complications ( P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Neuromusculoskeletal complications of T2DM are common and can result in significant disability in this population. Low PA is very common among T2DM patients and an important contributor to the development of complications. Health-care providers should consider PA an integral component of the management protocol for T2DM patients.
