Effects of lifestyle intervention on the elder patients with type 2 diabetic / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effects of standardized-lifestyle intervention on the type 2 diabetic elder patients.Methods The study group enrolled 270 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus randomly by using the model of “Zhiji Health Care” and the software of the lifestyle and disease prevention system.Parameters were collected during a six month period for the evaluation,such as fasting plasma glucose(FPG),postprandial glucose(PPG),cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),body mass(BMI),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbAlc),blood pressure,daily intake,total physical activity and effective physical activity and other indicators.Results After six months' standardized lifestyle intervention(1)in the type 2 diabetic patients,the parameters of weight,BMI,waist circumference,systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly decreased(t values were23.82,25.91,19.56,23.37 and 19.53,respectively,all P ＜ 0.01); FPG,PPG,HbA1c,TC,TG and LDL-C were significant decreased compared with that before intervention(t values were 12.06,11.82,9.74,6.98,5.79 and 6.10,respectively,all P ＜ 0.0l).Meanwhile,HDL-C was significantly increased(t =2.51,P ＜ 0.05).(2)the total daily intake was significantly reduced compared with that before intervention.The effective exercise burden was significantly increased,compared with that before intervention(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Standard lifestyle management helps to control the blood glucose,blood pressurem,body weight and other risk factors,with reduction of complications and medical costs.
