“…Another research done in Argentina indicated different frequent obstacles, with lack of willpower being the most common (59.6%) and lack of energy being the second most common (37.2%) (Martin et al, 2021). Our findings contrasted with those of a Saudi Arabian study, which found that lack of resources is the most prevalent obstacle overall (48.4%), and the most common among males (37%) and among females (63%) (Alzahrani et al, 2019). We discovered that feeling uncomfortable to engage exercise in public areas was the most significant difference in the barrier between males and females, and female patients were more likely than males to feel uncomfortable to engage in exercise in public areas, with 6 out of 20 male patients and 14 out of 20 female patients (p=0.004) considering it as a barrier.…”

“…PA is a critical part of T2DM management. Energy expenditure that greatly enhanced by any movement of the body is defined as PA (Alzahrani et al, 2019). The American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) both recommend at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week, accomplished in at least 3 days, and not performed in more than 2 consecutive days (Al- Kaabi et al, 2009).…”

“…This makes investigating the barriers to achieve target PA important. Reported barriers to PA include Lack of motivation, shortage of time and commitment to family, insufficient social support and energy and apprehension of injury (Alzahrani et al, 2019;Cartagena et al, 2021). Overestimation of PA has also been associated, particularly in young males.…”

Background: Physical activity (PA) is regarded a cornerstone of diabetes management in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). PA has variety of benefits to diabetic patients as it improves control of their blood glucose levels and reduces glycosylated hemoglobin, decreases patient's mortality risks (20 to >37 % reduction), improves cardiovascular outcomes, insulin secretion and enhance body weight maintenance. Methods: We used a valid questionnaire called the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to estimate the prevalence of physical activities among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, in addition to barriers that prevent them from practicing exercise. Result: This study had a total of 157 individuals. 51.6% engaged in low-intensity physical activity, 28.7% in moderate activity, and 19.7% in highintensity physical activity. Laziness and lack of energy (40.8%), health related issues (38.9%), lack of nearby dedicated facilities (30.6%), lack of time (29.9%) and weather conditions (27.4%) were the most common barriers prevent patients from practicing physical activity among T2DM patients. Female patients were more uncomfortable to engage in exercise in public areas compared to male patients (21.9% vs. 6.5%). Conclusion: Physical activity was importantly related to age, educational level, occupation, and working hours per day among patients with T2DM. PA was generally reduced in the majority of the patients in our study.

“…The prevalence of physically inactive diabetic patients was 9.8% in our study, which is half (20%) of another study conducted in an urban setting in Nepal [ 18 ]. However, 38.4% of patients with T2DM were physically inactive in Saudi Arabia, four times higher than that in the current study [ 40 ]. The lower prevalence of physical inactivity in our study might be due to the enrolment of participants from semi-urban settings, with the majority being employed.…”

Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). To prevent morbidity and mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), optimization of glycemic status and minimizing CVD risk factors is essential. As Nepal has limited data on these CVD risk parameters, we assessed the prevalence of poor glycemic control, CVD risk factors, and their clustering among patients with T2DM. Methods Using a cross-sectional study design, we collected data of 366 patients with T2DM. We applied a multistage cluster sampling technique and used the WHO STEPS tools. Binary logistic and Poisson regression was applied to calculate odds and prevalence ratio of clustering of risk factors, considering P< 0.05 statistically significant. Results The mean age of participants was 54.5±10.7 years and 208 (57%) were male. The prevalence of poor glycemic control was 66.4% (95% C.I: 61.5–71.2). The prevalence of smoking, alcohol users, inadequate fruit and vegetables intake and physical inactivity were 18% (95% C.I:14 to 21.9), 14.8% (95% C.I:11.1 to 18.4), 98.1% (95% C.I: 96.7–99.4), and 9.8% (95% C.I:6.7–12.8), respectively. Overall, 47.3% (95% C.I: 42.1–52.4) were overweight and obese, 59% (95% C.I: 52.9–63) were hypertensive, and 68% (95% C.I: 63.2–72.7) had dyslipidemia. Clustering of two, three, four, five and more than five risk factors was 12.6%, 30%, 30%,19%, and 8.7%, respectively. Four or more risk factors clustering was significantly associated with gender, age, level of education, T2DM duration, and use of medication. Risk factors clustering was significantly higher among males and users of anti-diabetic medications with prevalence ratio of 1.14 (95% C.I:1.05–1.23) and 1.09 (95% C.I: 1.09–1.18)], respectively. Conclusions The majority of the patients with T2DM had poor glycemic control and CVD risk factors. Policies and programs focused on the prevention and better management of T2DM and CVD risk factors should be implemented to reduce mortality in Nepal.

“…Most educational campaigns aimed at decreasing sedentary behaviour in KSA have not produced the anticipated results. 14 , 19 Moreover, most related previous research in KSA has concentrated on barriers to practising PA. 14 , 16 , 20 , 21 However, an analysis of these studies has indicated that they have overlooked the psychological determinants of behavioural change. Notably, increasing awareness and removing environmental hurdles might not necessarily lead to behavioural change, because no evidence has linked either factor to motivation or persuasion of people to undertake PA. 22 , 23 For example, individuals may have the required knowledge and be aware of the attitudes associated with health behaviours, yet fail to practice them.…”
