Tip 2 Diabetes Mellitusu Bulunan Geriatrik Bireylerin Fiziksel Fonksiyon, Yaşam Kalitesi, Günlük Yaşam Aktivitelerinin Değerlendirilmesi ve Beslenme ile İlişkilendirilmesi
Özet
Our study was planned with the aim of
evaluating the physical function, quality of life, daily living activities and nutritional status of
individuals 65 years old and above with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus and assessing the
relationship between these parameters. Sixty eight people aged 65 years and older participated
in the study, 34 of whom were diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and 34 of the
control group without diabetes. After gathering socio-demographic and individual data of the
individuals were recorded, sleep quality with Visual Analogue Scale, mental status with Mini
Mental State Test, balance with Functional Reach, Time Up and Go and Single Leg Stance
Test, functional mobility with 6-Minute Walk Test, fatigue with level Modified Borg Scale,
Hand grip strength with Jamar Dynamometer, lower extremity muscle strength with Chair Sit-
Up Test, quality of life with WHOQOL_OLD-BREF, daily life activities with Instrumental
Daily Life Activities, kinesiophobia with Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, depression status with
Geriatric Depression Scale, nutritional status with Mini Nutritional Assessment were
assesment and 3-day food consumption retrospectively was recorded. Sleep quality and
MMDT were not different between the groups (p>0.05). Functional reach distance, Single Leg
Stance time, 6-Minute Walk distance and handgrip strength were found low in DM group (p
<0.05). Modified Borg Scale, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale and Time Up and Go test time were
found high in DM group (p <0.05). Chair Sit-Up Test, quality of life, Instrumental Daily Life
Activities, and nutritional status not were found differ (p>0.05). Fatigue and fear of movement
scores and duration of mandatory cariostomy test were high and significant in the DM group
(p <0.05). When food consumption was evaluated, it was found that the DM group was low in
energy intake (kcal / day) than the control group (p <0.05) and groups could not provide
balanced nutrition in terms of macro and micronutrients. The nutritional scores of all geriatric
individuals were significantly associated with the Time Up and Go, fatigue and kinesiophobia
negatively (p <0.001), other physical function parameters are positively related (p <0.05). It
has been found that DM individuals are affected by physical function that associated fear of
movement, and physical function associated nütrution
