Key result
Recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes is associated with reduced cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max 19.3 vs 25.6 mL/kg/min; P<0.05) compared to controls, whereas type 1 diabetes preserves fitness.
Why the study?
Are cardiorespiratory fitness and heart rate variability reduced in recently diagnosed type 1 and type 2 diabetes compared to glucose-tolerant controls?
Cross-Sectional (n=431)
Are cardiorespiratory fitness and heart rate variability reduced in recently diagnosed type 1 and type 2 diabetes compared to glucose-tolerant controls?
Absolute Event Rate: 19.3% vs 25.6%
p-value: p=<0.05
Cardiorespiratory fitness is reduced in recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes but preserved in type 1 diabetes, whereas cardiac autonomic function is reduced in both types.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Reduced fitness in early type 2 diabetes supports monitoring; leaves open causality and intervention effects versus preserved fitness in type 1.
Röhling et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Recent-onset Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes (n=431). Recent-onset Type 2 Diabetes vs. Age-matched glucose-tolerant controls was evaluated on Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max in mL/kg/min) (p=<0.05). Recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes is associated with reduced cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max 19.3 vs 25.6 mL/kg/min; P<0.05) compared to controls, whereas type 1 diabetes preserves fitness.
