Abstract
This study aimed to determine the gender factors that influence regular exercise in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in Korea. A total of 1,432 patients with NIDDM were recruited using raw data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey conducted between 2016 and 2018. SAS 9.4 was adopted for data analyses, and the distributional difference was measured with multinomial logistic regression and Rao-Scott x2 statistics to identify the factors that influence the regular physical activities of patients. that the analysis only provides associations. Based on general characteristics, health behaviors, and conditions, patients with NIDDM in Korea were less physically active. In addition, patients with higher educational attainment, higher income, and higher subjective health conditions had a higher odds ratio for regular exercise. Meanwhile, the ratio was lower for smokers and those stressed up. A professional guide for the initial phase of training and consistent management is required to increase the involvement of patients with NIDDM in regular exercise. Therefore, it is important to maintain their motivation to continue exercising. Rather than providing a universal guideline, it is more important to provide customized programs and management plans which reflect factors that influence their engagement in physical activities, such as individual physical strength, stress level, alcohol consumption, and arthritis.

Summary
BackgroundThe number of people suffering from diabetes mellitus (DM) worldwide increased from approximately 320 million in 2014 to 425 million in 2017. In 2017, 4 million people lost their lives to DM and related complications This trend implies that the prevalence rate of DM is likely to further increase, with 693 million estimated patients in 2045 [1]. The Republic of Korea (hereinafter “Korea”) ranks 5th in the mortality rate of patients with DM among the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries. Such an increase in the prevalence rate of DM may be related to complications and relevant death rates. IDDM occurs when the beta cells in the pancreas are destroyed, causing an absolute shortage of insulin Causes vary from family history to stress, obesity, lack of exercise, intake of excessive energy, and environmental conditions [1, 3]
