Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
BACKGROUND Yoga is considered to be a good exercise for maintaining proper health and also has a profound effect on the lung functions of an individual. Yogic practices help in prevention, control and rehabilitation of respiratory diseases associated with diabetes, and it also delays and prevent the complications of the disease. Aims and Objectives- To assess the effect of yoga on BMI and pulmonary functions in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This non-randomized control trial was conducted at Department of Physiology and Department of Medicine in collaboration with Yoga Training and Research Centre, Kwakeithel, Imphal between January 2018 - June 2018, on 180 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, classified into case [n=90] with yoga intervention and control [n=90] with no yoga. Baseline parameters, anthropometry and PFT, were recorded at the start and after 3 months. The sample size estimation was done at conveniences. RESULTS Results showed a significant difference in BMI between the groups and significant difference in pulmonary functions parameters like forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at 1st second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), and forced expiratory flow (FEF25%-75%), at the end of 3 months, between the case group with yoga intervention and control group with no intervention. CONCLUSION Thus, three (3) months yoga training has been found to be effective in improving BMI and pulmonary functions of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which can prevent the early onset of macrovascular and microvascular complications.
