| Summary: | Introduction: Diabetes, the most common endocrine disorder,
is projected to show a worldwide increase from 366 million
people in the year 2011 to 552 million in the year 2030, out
of which around 101 million is expected to be contributed by
India. Moreover, the disease manifestations start in the early
stages of diabetes and before it gets established as a full blown
condition in the pre-stage called prediabetes.
Aim: To highlight the importance of yoga intervention on
metabolic profile and Carotid Intima Media Thickness (CIMT) in
prediabetic subjects and implement it as a therapy for primary
prevention of diabetes.
Materials and Methods: This interventional study was done
among adults aged 31-50 years in RUHS College of Medical
Sciences and Associated Rukmani Devi Beni Prasad Jaipuria
Hospital in Jaipur City, Rajasthan, India. A total of 250
prediabetic subjects were recruited from Jaipuria Hospital.
These were divided into two groups, Study group (Group A,
n=125) were engaged in yoga session and Control group (Group
B, n=125) did not perform any yoga session. Written informed
consent was taken from the participants in the local language.
Study was conducted over a period of six months from July
to December 2018. Statistical analysis was done by student’s
paired t-test for intragroup comparison before applying this test
the Smirnov-Kolmogorov test was conducted to confirm the
normality of each parameter.
Results: Yoga intervention resulted in a significant decline in
blood glucose (p<0.0001), Glycated haemoglobin (p<0.01), lipid
profile Cholesterol (p<0.01), Triglyceride (p<0.01), Low Density
Lipoprotein (LDL) (p<0.01), High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
(p-value >0.05) and Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) (p-value
>0.05), CIMT (p-value <0.05) relative to the control group.
Conclusion: Yoga intervention was found to be helpful in
control of metabolic profile and CIMT in prediabetes subjects.
This preliminary study indicates that a yoga intervention would
be a possible risk reduction option for adults at high risk for
type 2 diabetes. In addition, yoga holds promise as an approach
in reducing cardiometabolic risk factors, atherosclerosis and
Cardiovascular (CV) events. |
