Physical activity behavior change in pre-diabetic adults

Diabetes is one of the most prevalent metabolic diseases that inflicts one out of every 11 individuals in the world. Diabetes type II represents 90% of all diabetes cases, which is mostly an outcome of an unhealthy lifestyle. Diabetes is the ninth cause of death in the world so that it is estimated that 5million individuals died in 2017 because of diabetes. Pre-diabetes is a blood sugar disorder so that the blood sugar goes above the normal level but not to a level to be called as overt diabetes. Many of the individuals with pre-diabetes have no symptoms and the only way to diagnose is fasting blood sugar test. It is estimated than 260 million or 6.4% of adults in the world are in prediabetes stage. A cohort study in Tehran on 5879 healthy adults (men and women) with no diabetes and pre-diabetes symptoms showed that after nine years follow up, 46 men and 36 women out of one thousand individuals developed pre-diabetes. This means that 0.4% of total population of adults in Tehran develop pre-diabetic condition every year, which is a very alarming finding. The heavy load of diabetes, death or irrevocable damages, and a decrease in the quality of life all highlight the importance of diabetes prevention programs. Changing the lifestyle and having more physical activity can prevent the progress of pre-diabetes towards overt diabetes, decrease fasting blood sugar , and regulate hemoglobin A1C. A cohort study on 9306 patients with glucose intolerance in 40 countries showed that adopting healthy behaviors and having more physical activity at pre-diabetes stages notably decreased the risk of cardiac diseases in the subjects. It is notable that regular and orderly physical activity not only preserves and improve physical health of individuals and prevents obesity, but it is also considered as one of the main determinants of quality of lives of individuals. Mild hyperglycemia with no symptom in middle-aged individuals means that there is a good chance of making successful physical activity interventions. There are strong evidences of the effectiveness of interventions to improve physical activity and prevent and decrease the risk of diabetes in the individuals at risk. Since developing chronic diseases like diabetes type II highly depends on the lifestyle and physical activity, educational interventions to facilitate the process of adopting and improving physical activity can function as reliable preventive measures of diabetes and metabolic morbidities.
