GERIATRIC SYNDROMES AND THEIR ASSOCIATIONS WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVELS AMONG OLDER PATIENTS WITH UNCONTROLLED DIABETES MELLITUS
Main Article Content
Abstract
A cross-sectional study on 148 older type 2 diabetes patients with uncontrolled blood glucose was to assess geriatric syndromes and their relationships with physical activity levels. Physical activity levels was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form. Some common geriatric syndromes among older patients with uncontrolled diabetes were polypharmacy (76.4%), sleep disturbance (66.2%), risk of sarcopenia (58.1%), ADL and IADL impairment (56.8% and 53.4%), high fall risk (55.4%) and depression (20.3%). Individuals exhibiting ADL dependence, experiencing sleep disruptions, and possessing an elevated risk of falls and risk of sarcopenia demonstrated prevalence of low physical activity higher. There was no significant association between physical actitvity levels and IADL impairment, depression and polypharmacy. Our research highlighted high porpotion of geriatric syndrome such as polypharmacy, sleep disturbance, sarcopenia, high fall risk and impaired physical function and their relationship with low physical activity levels among older patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus.
