Activity patterns of obese adults with type 2 diabetes in the look AHEAD study.

ABSTRACT: This study describes baseline physical activity (PA) patterns of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) enrolled in the multicenter Look AHEAD Study using an objective measure of PA (accelerometry).A total of 2240 participants (age = 59.0 ± 6.8 yr and body mass index (BMI) = 36.5 ± 6.0 kg·m?²) with T2DM provided data for this substudy. Participants were instructed to wear an accelerometer during waking hours for 7 d. Accelerometry data were analyzed to identify periods meeting the criteria of ?3 MET·min?¹ for Q10 min(moderate- to vigorous-intensity PA (MVPA)) and ?6 MET·min?¹ for ?10 min (vigorous-intensity PA (VPA)). Self-reported PA was also assessed with a questionnaire. Accelerometry and self-reported PA data were compared across categories of BMI, sex, race, age, fitness, diabetes medication usage, and history of cardiovascular disease.Self-reported PA was lower at higher levels of BMI, was higher in males, was lowest for African-American/black, and was positively associated with fitness. Multivariate analyses for accelerometer-measured MVPA and VPA showed that more PA bouts per day, minutes per bout, METs per minute, and MET-minutes were associated with higher fitness. For MVPA, bouts per day were higher in men, and METs per minute were higher in women. For VPA, bouts per day was positively associated with increasing age and differed by race/ethnicity. METs per minute were significantly lower at higher levels of BMI and in women. Diabetes medication usage and history of cardiovascular disease were not associated with patterns of PA examined.Results provide information on factors that contribute to PA patterns in adults with T2DM when PA is assessed using both objective and subjective measures. These data may inform interventions to improve PA in adults with T2DM

Project description:Aims/hypothesisThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects on diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) of a long-term intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) programme designed to achieve and maintain weight loss.MethodsBeginning in 2001, a total of 5145 overweight or obese people with type 2 diabetes, aged 45-76 years, participating in the multicentre Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) study were randomised to ILI (n = 2570) or to a diabetes support and education (DSE) control group (n = 2575) using a web-based management system at the study coordinating centre at Wake Forest School of Medicine (Winston-Salem, NC, USA). Randomisation was stratified by clinical centre and was not revealed to the clinical staff responsible for obtaining data on study outcomes. Because of the nature of the study, patients and the local centre interventionists were not blinded to the study group assignments. In addition, the coordinating centre staff members responsible for data management and statistical analyses were not blinded to the study group assignments. The interventions were terminated in September 2012, 9-11 years after randomisation, but both groups continued to be followed for both primary and secondary outcomes. Neuropathy evaluations included the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) questionnaire completed at baseline in 5145 participants (ILI n = 2570, DSE n = 2575) and repeated annually thereafter and the MNSI physical examination and light touch sensation testing conducted in 3775 participants (ILI n = 1905, DSE n = 1870) 1-2.3 years after discontinuation of the intervention.ResultsAt baseline, the MNSI questionnaire scores were 1.9 ± 0.04 and 1.8 ± 0.04 in the ILI and DSE groups, respectively (difference not statistically significant). After 1 year, when weight loss was maximal in the ILI group (8.6 ± 6.9%) compared with DSE (0.7 ± 4.8%), the respective MNSI scores were 1.7 ± 0.04 and 2.0 ± 0.04 (p ≤ 0.001). Subsequently, the scores increased gradually in both groups, but remained significantly lower in the ILI group for the first 3 years and at the end of follow-up. In both groups, there was a significant association between changes in the MNSI scores and changes in body weight, HbA1c and serum lipids. There were no significant between-group differences in the proportions of participants with MNSI physical examination scores ≥2.5, considered to be indicative of diabetic neuropathy. The light touch sensation measured separately in either the right or left big toes (halluces) did not differ between ILI and DSE, but when the data were combined for both toes, light touch was better preserved in the ILI group.Conclusions/interpretationILI resulted in a significant decrease in questionnaire-based DPN, which was associated with the magnitude of weight loss. In both the ILI and DSE groups, changes in the MNSI score were also related to changes in HbA1c and lipids. There were no significant effects of ILI on physical examination measures of DPN conducted 1-2.3 years after termination of the active intervention, except for light touch sensation, which was significantly better in the ILI group when measurements were combined for both toes. However, a potential limiting factor to the interpretation of the physical examination data is that no baseline studies are available for comparison.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT00017953.FundingThis work was funded by the National Institutes of Health through cooperative agreements with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

Project description:Background Metabolic dyslipidemia (high triglyceride) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is highly prevalent in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The extent to which diabetes mellitus-related abnormalities in the triglyceride-HDL-C profile associates with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is incompletely understood. We evaluated the associations of triglyceride and HDL-C status with CVD outcomes in individuals with T2DM. Methods and Results We analyzed data from 4199 overweight/obese adults with T2DM free of CVD with available data on triglyceride and HDL-C at baseline (2001-2004) in the Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) study. We used Cox proportional models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs of: (1) composite CVD outcome (myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for angina, and/or death from cardiovascular causes); (2) coronary artery disease events; and (3) cerebrovascular accidents (stroke). Of the 4199 participants, 62% (n=2600) were women, with a mean age of 58 years (SD, 7), and 40% (n=1659) had metabolic dyslipidemia at baseline. Over a median follow-up of 9.5 years (interquartile range, 8.7-10.3), 500 participants experienced the composite CVD outcome, 396 experienced coronary artery disease events, and 100 experienced stroke. Low HDL-C was associated with higher hazards of the composite CVD outcome (HR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.12-1.64 [P=0.002]) and coronary artery disease events (HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.18-1.81 [P=0.001]) but not stroke (HR, 1.38; 95% CI, 0.90-2.11 [P=0.140]). Compared with patients with normal triglyceride and normal HDL, participants with metabolic dyslipidemia had higher risks of the composite CVD outcome (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.03-1.63 [P=0.025]) and coronary artery disease events (HR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.14-1.93 [P=0.003]) but not stroke (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 0.74-2.05 [P=0.420]). Conclusions In a large sample of overweight/obese individuals with T2DM, metabolic dyslipidemia was associated with higher risks of CVD outcomes. Our findings highlight the necessity to account for metabolic dyslipidemia in CVD risk stratification among patients with T2DM.

Project description:BackgroundLong-term effects of behavioural weight loss interventions on diabetes complications are unknown. In a secondary analysis of the Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) multicentre randomised clinical trial, we assessed whether an intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) affects the development of nephropathy in people with type 2 diabetes.MethodsOverweight or obese people aged 45-76 years with type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned (1:1) to ILI or to a diabetes support and education (DSE) group by a central web-based data management system, stratified by clinical centre and blocked with random block sizes. The ILI was designed to achieve and maintain weight loss through reduced caloric consumption and increased physical activity. The interventions were terminated early because of absence of effect on the primary outcome of cardiovascular disease events in the main Look AHEAD trial. Albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate were prespecified as two of many other outcomes and were assessed from baseline until the interventions ended. They were combined post hoc to define the main outcome for this report, very-high-risk chronic kidney disease (CKD), based on the 2013 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) classification. Outcomes assessors and laboratory staff were masked to treatment, but participants and interventionists were not masked. Time-to-event data were analysed by intention to treat by the Kaplan-Meier method and proportional hazards models. The Look AHEAD trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00017953.FindingsOf the 5145 participants randomly assigned in the Look AHEAD trial (2570 to ILI and 2575 to DSE), analyses for very-high-risk CKD were done in 2423 (94%) of patients in the ILI group and 2408 (94%) of those in the DSE group. After a median of 8·0 years (IQR 7·9-9·9) of follow-up, the incidence of very-high-risk CKD was lower in the ILI group than in the DSE group, with incidence rates of 0·91 cases per 100 person-years in the DSE group and 0·63 per 100 person-years in the ILI group (difference 0·27 cases per 100 person-years, hazard ratio 0·69, 95% CI 0·55-0·87; p=0·0016). This effect was partly attributable to reductions in bodyweight, HbA1c, and systolic blood pressure. There were no safety concerns regarding kidney-related adverse events.InterpretationWeight loss should be considered as an adjunct to medical treatments to prevent or delay progression of CKD in overweight or obese people with type 2 diabetes.FundingNational Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
