RESUMO
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) has different prevalence by region. This study aimed to identify the differences in the effects of obesity and depression on DM in South Korean adults by region. Methods: The participants were 14,343 adults (≥30 yr) from Ulsan (regions with the lowest prevalence of DM) and Jeonbuk (regions with the highest prevalence of DM), and data were extracted from the Community Health Survey 2019. We applied a complex sampling design analysis to reflect the stratified, clustering and weights. The data were analyzed using the unweighted frequencies, weighted percentage, mean, standard error, Chi-Square test and multiple logistic regression analysis (SPSS 25.0). Results: Regarding the main result for Ulsan, the odds ratio of DM increased by 1.94, 2.52,1.57, and 4.87 times for obesity(25-29.9kg/m2), high obesity(≥30kg/m2), depression, and receipt of psychological counseling for depression, respectively. In Jeonbuk, the odds ratio of DM increased by 1.79, 2.84, and 3.59 times for obesity, high obesity, and unmet medical experience, respectively. On the other hand, depression-related variables were found to not influence DM. Conclusion: We provided the rationale for conducting a health project that interventions for obesity and depression should be included in DM management programs differently in Ulsan and Jeonbuk regions.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Home visits have often been performed for diabetes management, but with the increased use of the internet and smartphones, people are opting for telenursing as the main method for monitoring and controlling diabetes. OBJECTIVE: This study compares the effects of home visits and telenursing on diabetes management. METHODS: Four electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) were used as data sources. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood sugar, and two-hour post-prandial glucose levels were used as outcome measures. A subgroup analysis was performed based on the type of diabetes and follow-up. RESULTS: Of 1890 studies, 24 (2801 participants) were selected and meta-analyzed. The nursing interventions provided during nursing visits or telenursing mainly included education on diabetes and blood sugar control. It was seen that HbA1c decreased with a weighted mean difference of -0.66 (95â¯% confidence interval -0.82 to -0.51, pâ¯<â¯.001) % in home visits and -0.56 (95â¯% confidence interval -0.81 to -0.31, pâ¯<â¯.001) % in telenursing. The fasting blood sugar reported only in telenursing was reduced by a weighted mean difference of -14.23 (95â¯% confidence interval 27.59 to -0.88, pâ¯=â¯.04) mg/dL and two-hour post-prandial glucose was reduced with a mean difference of -15.84 (95â¯% confidence intervalâ¯-24.45 to -7.24, pâ¯=â¯.003) mg/dL. Furthermore, low heterogeneity was found among the studies. In a subgroup analysis of diabetes type, HbA1c in home visits was reduced by -0.86â¯% in type 1 diabetes and -0.62â¯% in type 2 diabetes, while in telenursing, the reductions were -0.65â¯% and -0.53â¯%, respectively. Fasting blood glucose was reduced by -6.08â¯mg/dL and -18.50â¯mg/dL, respectively, whereas two-hour postprandial blood sugar was reduced by -14.49â¯mg/dL and -30.30â¯mg/dL, respectively, in telenursing. In the subgroup analysis of the follow-up period, HbA1c during home visits decreased by -0.63â¯% at 10 to 16â¯weeks, -0.73â¯% at 24 to 36â¯weeks, and -0.64â¯% at 52â¯weeks or more, while in telenursing, the reductions were -0.80â¯%, -0.44â¯%, and -0.07â¯%, respectively. Home visits were not statistically significant between 10 and 16â¯weeks, whereas telenursing was not significant at 52â¯weeks or more. CONCLUSIONS: Despite telenursing reducing HbA1c slightly less than home visits, evidence from this systematic review suggests that telenursing is a similarly effective approach for controlling blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Telenursing is a nursing intervention that can be used as an alternative to home visits for patients requiring diabetes management.

The current systematic review compared whether combined exercise and nutrition interventions are effective in preventing or improving sarcopenia in frail older adults and healthy older adults. Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL were searched for randomized controlled trials. Of the 1,596 citations, 22 trials (N = 1,767) were included in the final sample. In frail older adults, significant improvement after combined exercise and nutrition interventions was observed in seven indicators: skeletal muscle index, 0.16 kg/m2; handgrip, 1.41 kg; knee extension strength, 0.24 Nm; five-repetition chair-stand test, -1.89 sec; gait speed, 0.06 m/s; Short Physical Performance Battery, 0.43; and Timed Up and Go test, -0.56 sec. In healthy older adults, two indicators improved and showed statistically significant differences: handgrip, 2.15 kg; and 6-Minute Walking Test, 9.71 m. Combined exercise and nutritional interventions can improve skeletal muscle quality, strength, and physical performance in frail and healthy older adults.

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), a chronic disease, is associated with obesity and inflammation. This study investigated the effects of body mass index (BMI), leukocytes, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) on type 2 diabetes mellitus in South Korean adults. Methods: Secondary analysis of data from 5,420 adults' subject in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII-3, 2018) was performed. The collected data were analyzed by n (%), mean ± SD, t-test, χ2 -test, and multiple logistic regression methods. Results: BMI and leukocytes count were higher in the T2DM-diagnosed group. The probability of T2DM increased by 4.76 times for obesity compared to normal weight, but high obesity was not an influencing factor for T2DM. As the leukocytes increased, the probability of T2DM increased by 1.15 times. However, hs-CRP was not an influencing factor for T2DM. Age was higher in the T2DM-diagnosed group and appeared to be an influencing factor in T2DM. Conclusion: Obesity and inflammation indicators, including WBC, appeared to be risk factors for T2DM. This study presented the basis of diet and exercise interventions for weight loss and white blood cell count in a T2DM prevention and management program.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: This study analyzed the predictive validity of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale for late-life depression (LLD) over the age of 50 years and identified the usefulness of the CES-D compared with the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). METHODS: Electronic searches were performed on the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases using the following keywords: depression, depressive disorder, major, and the CES-D scale. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 was applied to assess the risk of bias. RESULTS: We reviewed 22 studies, including 27,742 older adults aged 50+ years that met the selection criteria. In the meta-analysis, the pooled sensitivity was 0.81 in the CES-D long version and 0.76 in the short version. The sROC AUC was 0.89 (SE=0.01) for the long version and 0.88 (SE=0.04) for the short version. The GDS was only compared to the CES-D long version. The pooled sensitivity was as follows: the CES-D, 0.82; the GDS long version, 0.86; and the GDS short version, 0.87. Further, there was no heterogeneity of 0.0% between studies. The pooled specificity was 0.78 and 0.77, respectively, and the sROC AUC was 0.88 for the CES-D (SE=0.02), 0.89 for the GDS long version (SE=0.04), and 0.91 for the GDS short version (SE=0.03). LIMITATIONS: We could not consider cognitive function of older adults. CONCLUSIONS: The CES-D showed similar predictive validity compared to the GDS developed in older adults. The CES-D is a useful tool that can be used for LLD screening in older adults over 50 years old.
