Tip 2 Diabetes Mellitusu Bulunan Geriatrik Bireylerin Fiziksel Fonksiyon, Yaşam Kalitesi, Günlük Yaşam Aktivitelerinin Değerlendirilmesi ve Beslenme ile İlişkilendirilmesi

Abstract

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
