Discussion

Observational analysis found links between insulin resistance and static balance in prediabetic subjects, suggesting focus on balance training.

Static balance was negatively correlated with age and BMI among prediabetic patients, indicating poorer balance with increased metrics.
The study assessed correlations using Spearman rank correlation tests, revealing significant links between various glycemic indicators and balance function.
Height and weight were associated with proprioceptive function, while HbA1c and 2hPG showed negative correlations with different balance indices.
These findings highlight the relationship between glucose metabolism and balance dysfunction, emphasizing the need for targeted training interventions.

Wang et al. (2025) studied this question.
