Abstract

Simple SummaryType 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic global disease with a series of complications that lead to problems in the somatosensory system, the cardiovascular system, health-related quality of life, foot health, and even balance. These balance problems arise from deficits in lower limb strength, among other causes. The 30-s chair stand-up test is a test that evaluates leg strength and is an easy, quick, inexpensive, and predictive test of different parameters. How this test relates to health-related quality of life, vibration sensitivity threshold, and foot health has not been studied. This study tests the degree of the relationships of the 30-s chair stand-up test with the 15-dimensional (15-D) questionnaire, Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ), vibration sensitivity threshold, and body composition questionnaires.Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic, worldwide disease affecting more than 400 million people. This pathology involves several associated problems, such as diabetic neuropathy complications, obesity, and foot problems, both in terms of health and sensitivity. Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the relationships of the 30-s chair stand-up test with the Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ), the vibration perception threshold (VPT), and the 15-dimensional (15-D) questionnaire in T2DM people. Methodology: Ninety participants with T2DM were assessed in terms of fat mass percentage, VPT, foot health, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and the 30-s chair stand-up test. Results: The 30-s chair stand-up test was found to exhibit a moderate relationship with “physical activity” (rho = 0.441; p ≤ 0.001) and “vigor” (rho = 0.443; p ≤ 0.001) from FHSQ. The 30-s chair stand-up test was also found to be weakly associated with foot pain (rho = 0.358; p = 0.001), 15-D total score (rho = 0.376; p ≤ 0.001), “sleeping” (rho = 0.371; p < 0.001), and “depression” (rho = 0.352; p = 0.001). Conclusions: The 30-s chair stand-up test is associated with “physical activity”, “vigor”, and “foot pain” from the FHSQ and the 15-D questionnaire total score and its dimensions “sleeping” and “depression” in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Therefore, following the results obtained, qualified clinicians can use the 30-s chair stand-up test as a good tool for monitoring and managing type 2 diabetes.

Highlights

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia and is due to a progressive deficit of insulin secretion that is initiated after a process of insulin resistance [1]; it affects 415 million people worldwide [2].the T2DM prevalence is rising in both men and women
The exclusion criteria were as follows: (a) people diagnosed with type 1 DM, (b) people for whom high-intensity exercises are contraindicated or people suffering from any condition that contraindicates such exercises, (c) people under psychotropic or neurotoxic treatment or exposed to neurotoxins, (d) people receiving radiation therapy, (e) people under high risk of nondiabetic neuropathy, (f) people highly exposed to whole-body vibration at work, and (g) people having participated in previous whole-body vibration studies
Moderate significant correlations were reported between the 30-s chair stand-up test and physical activity and between the 30-s chair stand-up test and vigor

Introduction

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia and is due to a progressive deficit of insulin secretion that is initiated after a process of insulin resistance [1]; it affects 415 million people worldwide [2].the T2DM prevalence is rising in both men and women. People with DM usually suffer from several problems, such as neuropathy [4] These complications have an impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic, worldwide disease affecting more than 400 million people This pathology involves several associated problems, such as diabetic neuropathy complications, obesity, and foot problems, both in terms of health and sensitivity. Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the relationships of the 30-s chair stand-up test with the Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ), the vibration perception threshold (VPT), and the 15-dimensional (15-D) questionnaire in T2DM people.
