Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals physical activity and education improve glycemic control in diabetes, suggesting new intervention pathways.

Key Points

  • To explore the association of sociodemographic factors and physical activity with glycemic control among Croatian adults with diabetes.
  • Cross-sectional study design with 95 adults having type 1 or type 2 diabetes at a national reference center
  • Data collected through questionnaires and medical records covering demographics and clinical characteristics
  • Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, t-tests, chi-squared tests, correlations, and regression analyses.
  • Mean HbA1c was 6.9% with 33.7% of participants above 7.5%
  • Higher education and strength or balance exercises were linked to lower HbA1c
  • Longer disease duration and type 2 diabetes were predictors of higher HbA1c
  • Age was a predictor of cardiovascular comorbidities
  • PA interaction with residence showed a non-significant trend.
