TI  - Estimation of physical activity by different questionnaires in overweight 
      subjects and patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus: relationship with 
      anthropometric and metabolic variables.
PG  - 280-9
AB  - AIM: This study assessed the level of physical activity in overweight and obese 
      subjects, and overweight and obese patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). 
      It also compared their physical activity level with that of the general 
      population and investigated benefits of physical activity on anthropometric and 
      metabolic parameters and blood pressure in the studied groups of patients using 
      Baecke's questionnaire and the Lipid Research Clinics Physical Activity (LRC PA) 
      questionnaire. The two questionnaires were also compared in the evaluation of 
      benefits. METHODS: Physical activity level and other parameters (body weight, 
      body height, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, systolic and diastolic blood 
      pressure, lipoprotein and creatinine concentrations in the blood, concentration 
      of fasting glucose and HbA1c in the blood, albuminuria-to-creatinuria ratio) of 
      136 subjects and their relationships were investigated during their out-patient 
      visits. RESULTS: No difference in physical activity level was found among the 
      four groups of investigated patients. The comparison between the level of 
      physical activity in the investigated patients and the general population 
      obtained by Baecke's questionnaire revealed a lower sports index in all groups of 
      investigated men and obese women with diabetes mellitus. Our results confirm the 
      benefit of physical activity on a high number of investigated parameters in the 
      studied patients. The Baecke's questionnaire was found to estimate the effects of 
      physical activity on metabolic and anthropometric parameters, as well as blood 
      pressure, better than the LRC PA questionnaire, especially the two-point scoring 
      system. CONCLUSIONS: LRC PA and especially Baecke's questionnaires are valuable 
      aids in the estimation of physical activity level and its benefits in overweight 
      and obese patients and patients with T2DM.
