RESUMO
The cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between quality of life, activity, and participation in 93 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus at a primary care center. Moderately strong correlations were found between quality of life and leisure/work, outdoor and social activities, but not with domestic activities. Leisure/work, outdoor, and social activities accounted for 18% of the variance in the quality of life variables. In a follow-up model, age, depression, and falls efficacy accounted for another 51% of the variance in total quality of life. Findings provide support for the expansion of occupational therapy's role in diabetes self-management, to incorporate leisure, social, and community activities and fall risk management interventions.

IN BRIEF Participation in domestic, leisure, work, and community-based activities may relate to glycemic control, emergency department use, and hospitalizations in individuals with type 2 diabetes and low socioeconomic status. This study sought to determine how such role-related activity levels relate to A1C, emergency department use, and hospitalizations.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Assess pre to-post outcomes for people with chronic pain and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) randomized to an 8-week yoga intervention or usual care. METHODS: Participants were included if they self-reported: chronic pain; T2DM; >18 years old; no exercise restrictions or consistent yoga; and consented to the study. RESULTS: After yoga, there were significant improvements in: Brief Pain Inventory pain interference (49⯱â¯15.00 vs. 41.25⯱â¯19.46, pâ¯=â¯.034); Fullerton Advanced Balance scale (14.2⯱â¯14.1 vs. 20.4⯱â¯13.5, pâ¯=â¯.03); upper extremity strength (7.7⯱â¯6.3 vs.10.8⯱â¯6.5, pâ¯=â¯.02); lower extremity strength (4.1⯱â¯3.8 vs. 6.7⯱â¯4.8, pâ¯=â¯.02); and RAND 36-item Health Survey quality of life scores (81.1⯱â¯7.7 vs. 91.9⯱â¯8.9, pâ¯=â¯.04). Balance scores became significantly worse during the 8 weeks for people randomized to the control (27.1⯱â¯9.9 vs. 21.7⯱â¯13.4,â¯=â¯p.01). CONCLUSION: Data from this small RCT indicates yoga may be therapeutic and may improve multiple outcomes in this seemingly at-risk population. CLINICAL TRIALS NUMBER: NCT03010878.
