Highlights |
• | Patients with diabetic peripheral artery disease (PAD) were more sedentary than non-diabetic PAD patients. |
• | Diabetic PAD patients were less physically active than non-diabetic PAD patients. |
• | Diabetic PAD patients presented lower walking capacity than non-diabetic PAD patients. |
• | Diabetic PAD patients presented impaired cardiac autonomic modulation as compared with non-diabetic PAD patients. |
Abstract |
Background |
Diabetes has been considered a major risk factor for peripheral artery disease (PAD). The effect of diabetes on daily physical activity level and cardiovascular function in PAD patients is poorly known.
Objective |
To analyze the effect of diabetes on physical activity level, physical function and cardiovascular health parameters in patients with PAD and claudication symptoms.
Methods |
Cross-sectional study of 267 PAD patients, 146 without and 121 with diabetes. Physical activity levels were objectively measured by using an accelerometer, and time spent in sedentary (0-100 counts/min), light (101-1040 counts/min) and moderate to vigorous (≥1041 counts/min) physical activity was obtained. Physical function assessment included the 6-min walk test, handgrip strength test and short physical performance battery. Cardiovascular health parameters measured were brachial blood pressure, heart rate variability, and arterial stiffness.
Results |
Diabetic PAD patients spent more time in sedentary behavior (P=0.001, effect size [ES] 0.234) and less time in light (P=0.003, ES=0.206) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (P<0.001, ES=0.258) than non-diabetic PAD patients. Diabetic PAD patients presented lower 6-min walk distance (P=0.005, ES=0.194) and impaired cardiac autonomic modulation (standard deviation of all NN intervals [SDNN], P<0.001, ES=0.357; square root of the mean of the sum of the squares of differences between adjacent NN intervals [RMSSD], P<0.001, ES=0.280; and NN50 count divided by the total number of all NN intervals [pNN50], P<0.001, ES=0.291) as compared with non-diabetic PAD patients. After adjustment for confounders, diabetes remained associated with sedentary behavior (P=0.011), light (P=0.020) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (P=0.008), 6-min walk distance (P=0.030), SDNN (P<0.001), RMSSD (P=0.004), and PNN50 (P=0.004).
Conclusion |
Diabetic PAD patients presented lower physical activity level, reduced physical function and impaired autonomic modulation as compared with non-diabetic PAD patients.
