Background & Objectives: Sports activities are highly beneficial for improving the human health and reducing the risk of diseases. This cross sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence of prediabetes and Type-2 diabetes mellitus in cricket players compared to population based non-elite athlete control subjects. Methods: The present matched cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia during the period October 2019 to February 2020. Initially, 700 volunteer males, (300) cricket players and (400) population based non-elite athlete control subjects were interviewed. After socio-demographic and medical history, (200) nonsmoker cricket players and (300) nonsmoker control subjects were recruited. The age of cricket players was 34 (32-37) years, weight 81 (76-84) kg, height 1.79 (1.74-1.84) meters, and body mass index (BMI) was 25.09 (23.66-26.76) kg/m2. The cricket players have been playing cricket for 4 (3-4) hours per day; 3.50 (3-4) days per week; for the total period of 24 (12-36) months. American Diabetes Association (ADA) based criteria on Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) was used to investigate the prediabetes and Type-2 diabetes mellitus. Results: In cricket players, the prevalence of prediabetes was 23 (11.5%) and Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was 7 (3.5%) compared to population based matched non-elite athlete control subjects the prediabetes was 73 (24.34%) and T2DM was 63 (21.1%) (p=0.001). Among cricket players, there was a 6-folds decrease in T2DM compared to control subjects. Conclusions: The cricket sports activities decrease the prevalence of prediabetes and Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among the cricket players compared to population based matched non-elite athlete control subjects. The study findings demonstrate the urgent need for promoting sports activities, more cricket grounds as a physiological preventive strategy against the global growing diabetes epidemic. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.4.4128 How to cite this:Meo SA, Abukhalaf AA, Alomar AA, Sami W, Meo AS.

Background: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of prediabetes among Saudi adults and to evaluate their risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Methods: This is a cohort of 2470 Saudi adults attending employee clinics in the university hospital. WHO-STEPs approach was used to collect sociodemographic (age, gender, and education), clinical (body mass index and blood pressure) and laboratory data (HbA1c, lipid profile and vitamin D concentration). Prediabetes was defined according to HbA1c level of 5.7-6.4%. Cardiovascular risk (CVR) scores were evaluated using the Framingham Risk Score. SPSS was used for data analysis to investigate the relation between different CVR and prediabetes. Results: Prediabetes affected 25.1% of the study population. Males had higher rates of prediabetes than females (27.5% versus 23.5%). The prevalence of prediabetes increased from 11.6% among young individuals (18-29 years) to 56.0% among participants 60 years and older. Prediabetes patients exhibited considerably higher levels of all cardiovascular risk factors and nearly half of them (49.3%) had at least two risk factors. The prevalence of intermediate CVR among prediabetics was 13.2% compared to just 2.9% among the normal group, and high CVR was defined in 3.7% among prediabetics compared to only 1.7% in the normal group. Having prediabetes increased the odds to develop higher CVR of 2.64 times compared to those without prediabetes (OR = 2.64, 95% CI = 1.51-4.64) and the level of vitamin D did not affect the odds of CVR. Conclusion: Prediabetes is quite prevalent among Saudi adults, and they are at a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Patients with prediabetes have higher cardiac risk scores when compared to normal participants across the whole spectrum of (25(OH)D) concentrations. Additionally, no significant correlation was observed between HbA1c and (25(OH)D) levels in prediabetics or normoglycemic subjects.

“…HbA1c was measured by using a device “Clover A1c system (Inforpia, Kyunggi, Korea), an automated boronate affinity assay for the determination of the percentage of HbA1c % in the blood” [ 14 ]. The Clover A1c system is well acknowledged in the measurement of HbA1c both in clinical medicine and research.…”

Diabetes mellitus is a highly challenging global health care problem. This study aimed to assess the effect of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and duration of diabetes on lung function in type 2 diabetic patients and assess whether duration or high HbA1c is more noxious to damage the lung functions. A total of 202 participants, 101 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and 101 age-, gender-, height-, and weight-matched controlled subjects were recruited. The HbA1c was measured through a clover analyzer, and lung function test parameters were recorded by spirometry. The results revealed a significant inverse correlation between HbA1c and Vital Capacity (VC) (r = −0.221, p = 0.026), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) (r = −0.261, p = 0.008), Forced Expiratory Volume in First Second (FEV1) (r = −0.272, p = 0.006), Forced Expiratory Flow 25% (FEF-25%) (r = −0.196, p = 0.050), Forced Expiratory Flow 50% (FEF-50%) (r = −0.223, p = 0.025), and Forced Expiratory Flow 75% (FEF-75%) (r = −0.169, p = 0.016). Moreover, FEV1 (p = 0.029), FEV1/FVC% (p = 0.006), FEF-50% (p = 0.001), and FEF-75% (p = 0.003) were significantly lower in the diabetic group with duration of disease 5–10 and >10 years compared to the control group. The overall results concluded that high HbA1c or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus has a more damaging effect on lung function impairment compared to the duration of diabetes mellitus. Physicians must regularly monitor the HbA1c level while treating diabetic patients, as good glycemic control is essential to minimize the complications of DM, including lung function impairment in patients with T2DM.
