ABSTRACT

There is robust evidence of using Curcuma longa L. in reducing metabolic levels in people with diabetes. This study analysed the effectiveness of Curcuma longa L. in the metabolic control of patients with type 2 diabetes in Brazil. A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted with 71 participants divided into a Curcuma longa L. group (500 mg/day with piperine 5 mg) and a placebo group, for 120 days. Anthropometric, clinical and biochemical variables were evaluated at baseline, 60 and 120 days after the beginning of the intervention. Paired and independent Student's t-test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. The curcuma group presented a significantly decreased glycaemia (p=.013), glycated haemoglobin (p=.015), HOMA index (p=.037) and triglycerides (TGs) (p=.002). The use of piperine-added Curcuma longa L. was effective in the glycaemic and TG control of patients with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease that is increasing the number of cases worldwide. The treatments currently used have not worked as expected. Alternative and complementary medicines were inserted in health services, especially in primary care, as an attempt to minimize risks and help control diseases such as diabetes. Among the herbal medicines used stands out cinnamon, which can serve as an adjuvant in the control of diabetes. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effectiveness of 3 grams of cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) per day for 90 days in reducing glycemic and lipid levels in adults with T2DM compared with placebo METHODS:: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II trial, which will be conducted at basic health units in the city of Parnaíba, state of Piauí, Brazil. In total, 130 people diagnosed with T2DM, followed at health units, with hemoglobin A1c > 6.5%, and using oral antidiabetic medicines, are expected to participate in the study. The intervention will last for 3 months, and each participant will receive a total of 3 bottles containing 120 capsules in each bottle of cinnamon or placebo. Each person should take 4 capsules daily, for 90 days. The patients will be distributed into the 2 groups by performing block randomization (n = 6) at a ratio of 1:1 according to a code generated by a software. Assessments of socioeconomic, clinical, lifestyle, anthropometric, and laboratory variables will be performed in 2 separate visits. DISCUSSION: This study will be the first to investigate cinnamon to reduce glycemic, lipid, and anthropometric levels in Brazil. In case of favorable results, this therapy may be used as an alternative or additional medicine in cases where only oral antidiabetic agents are used and can promote the use of the product to minimize future complications of patients with diabetes and people who do not have the disease. TRIAL REGISTRATION: RBR-2KKB6D, registered on December 11th, 2018.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo desta investigação foi analisar a prevalência de sedentarismo numa população de estudantes universitários de uma instituição de ensino superior do Piauí. Estudo transversal realizado, nos meses de abril e maio de 2011, com 101 estudantes, de ambos os sexos. Para a coleta de dados, aplicou-se um formulário estruturado abrangendo questões sociodemográficas, medidas antropométricas, taxa de glicemia capilar, circunferência da cintura, prática de atividade física, consumo de álcool e tabaco. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente e, para a associação das variáveis, utilizou-se o teste quiquadrado. O sedentarismo esteve presente em 78(77,2%) sujeitos da amostra. Foi constatada associação estatisticamente significante entre sexo masculino e etilismo, entre tabagismo e etilismo e entre circunferência da cintura e índice de massa corporal. Estudos de intervenção devem incentivar a população jovem a fim de diminuir as chances de os mesmos apresentarem doenças crônicas na fase adulta.


This investigation aimed at analyzing prevalence of sedentary lifestyle in a population of college students from a higher education institution in the state of Piauí, Brazil. This cross-sectional study was carried out in April-May, 2011 with 101 students of both sexes. For data collection we applied a structured form covering socio-demographic aspects, anthropometric measurements, blood glucose level, waist circumference, physical activity, consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Data were statistically analyzed and the Chi-square test was used for association of variables. Sedentary lifestyle was outstanding in 78(77.2%) of the sample. We identified statistically significant association between males and alcohol consumption, smoking and alcohol consumption, and between waist circumference and Body Mass Index. Intervention studies should be encouraged with the young population to help bring down chronic diseases in adulthood.
