Résumé

Elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are vulnerable to treatment-inducible hypoglycemia, falls, and depressive symptoms. Although it is challenging for elderly patients to adhere to regular exercise, its positive effect on functional ability, glycemic control, and mental wellness offers comprehensive diabetes treatment. In the present study, we aimed to investigate a novel exercise approach for the elderly, focusing on whole-body vibration (WBV). This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a primary-care setting at a medical fitness center affiliated with the incorporated medical institution of THY (TOTAL HEALTH YARD). Fourteen (WBV group) and 12 (control group) elderly patients with T2DM undergoing and not undergoing our WBV program, respectively, for > 6 months were analyzed. Primary endpoints were the functional ability changes, evaluated by Timed Up and Go (TUG), Sit-to-Stand test (SST), gait length, and grip test. Secondary endpoints were global glycemic control and questionnaires, namely the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). All records of exercise adherence and any adverse events were followed. Significant improvements in TUG and SST were found only in the WBV group [TUG: 7.1 ± 0.9, 7.1 ± 0.8 to 7.0 ± 1.0, 6.6 ± 0.9 (s), P = 0.63, 0.01; SST: 10.4 ± 1.9, 11.3 ± 2.4 to 9.7 ± 2.3, 9.5 ± 2.1 (s), P = 0.62, P < 0.01, control vs. WBV group, respectively]. The WBV group demonstrated significant improvement of hemoglobin A1C levels (7.2 ± 0.8 to 6.9 ± 0.5, P < 0.01) and DTSQ and GDS scores, while the control group did not. There were no hypoglycemic events during the study. The WBV program adherence was 93.3 ± 8.0%. We demonstrated the favorable effect of WBV training on balance, diabetes treatment, and mood. Therefore, WBV training can be proposed as comprehensive therapy in a safe manner and potentially has a positive effect on health-related quality of life in elderly patients with T2DM.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are vulnerable to treatment-inducible hypoglycemia, falls, and depressive symptoms. Although it is challenging for elderly patients to adhere to regular exercise, its positive effect on functional ability, glycemic control, and mental wellness offers comprehensive diabetes treatment. In the present study, we aimed to investigate a novel exercise approach for the elderly, focusing on whole-body vibration (WBV).
METHODS METHODS
This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a primary-care setting at a medical fitness center affiliated with the incorporated medical institution of THY (TOTAL HEALTH YARD). Fourteen (WBV group) and 12 (control group) elderly patients with T2DM undergoing and not undergoing our WBV program, respectively, for > 6 months were analyzed. Primary endpoints were the functional ability changes, evaluated by Timed Up and Go (TUG), Sit-to-Stand test (SST), gait length, and grip test. Secondary endpoints were global glycemic control and questionnaires, namely the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). All records of exercise adherence and any adverse events were followed.
RESULTS RESULTS
Significant improvements in TUG and SST were found only in the WBV group [TUG: 7.1 ± 0.9, 7.1 ± 0.8 to 7.0 ± 1.0, 6.6 ± 0.9 (s), P = 0.63, 0.01; SST: 10.4 ± 1.9, 11.3 ± 2.4 to 9.7 ± 2.3, 9.5 ± 2.1 (s), P = 0.62, P < 0.01, control vs. WBV group, respectively]. The WBV group demonstrated significant improvement of hemoglobin A1C levels (7.2 ± 0.8 to 6.9 ± 0.5, P < 0.01) and DTSQ and GDS scores, while the control group did not. There were no hypoglycemic events during the study. The WBV program adherence was 93.3 ± 8.0%.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
We demonstrated the favorable effect of WBV training on balance, diabetes treatment, and mood. Therefore, WBV training can be proposed as comprehensive therapy in a safe manner and potentially has a positive effect on health-related quality of life in elderly patients with T2DM.
