Abstract

Objective: To describe the decline in activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) among elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes at Thanh Hoa Provincial Endocrinology Hospital, and to investigate associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 201 patients aged 60 years or older with type 2 diabetes at Thanh Hoa Provincial Endocrinology Hospital over a 2.5-month period. ADLs and IADLs were assessed using standardized scales. Associated factors including demographic, geriatric, and diabetes-related characteristics were analyzed. Results: The mean age of the participants was 70.71 ± 6.40 years. The prevalence of ADL impairment was 18.41%, and IADL impairment was 59.7%. Age and fall risk were significantly associated with ADL dependence. History of hypertension and fall risk were associated with IADL impairment. Conclusion: Elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes experienced significant difficulties in performing ADLs and IADLs. Age, fall risk, and hypertension were identified as major risk factors. Comprehensive assessment and interventions are needed to mitigate the decline in functional capacity among this population.
