AB  - INTRODUCTION: International recommendations of the exploration of 
      non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) are focused on deficiency and not 
      incapacity. AIMS: (1) To estimate the incapacity of NIDDM patients through the 
      6-minute walk test (6MWT) data. (2) To determine their 6-minute walk distance 
      (6MWD) influencing factors (3) To compare data of NIDDM patient group (PG; n = 
      100) with those of two control groups (CG): CG1 (n = 174, healthy nonobese and 
      nonsmoker); CG2 (n = 55, obese nondiabetic free from comorbidities). POPULATION 
      AND METHODS: The anthropometric, socioeconomic, clinical, metabolic, and 6MWT 
      data of 100 NIDDM patients (45 females) were collected. RESULTS: Total sample 
      means +/- standard deviation of age, weight, and height were 54 +/- 8 years, 81 +/- 14 
      kg, and 1.64 +/- 0.09 m. (1) Measured 6MWD (566 +/- 81 m) was significantly lower 
      than the theoretical 6MWD (90% +/- 12%). The profile of the PG carrying the 6MWT, 
      was as follows: 23% had an abnormal 6MWD; at the end of the 6MWT, 21% and 12% 
      had, respectively, a low heart rate and a high dyspnea (>5/10), and 4% had 
      desaturation during the walk. The estimated "cardiorespiratory and muscular 
      chain" age (68 +/- 16 years) was significantly higher than the chronological age. 
      (2) The factors that significantly influenced the 6MWD (r(2) = 0.58) are included 
      in the following equation: 6MWD (m) = -73.94 x gender (0, male; 1, female) - 3.25 
      x age (years) + 7.33 x leisure activity score - 35.57 x obesity (0, no; 1, yes) + 
      32.86 x socioeconomic level (0, low; 1, high) - 27.67 x cigarette use (0, no; 1, 
      yes) + 8.89 x resting oxyhemoglobin saturation - 105.48. (3) Compared to the CGs, 
      the PG had a significantly (P < 0.05) lower 6MWD (100%+9% and 100%+8%, 
      respectively, for the CG1 and CG2). CONCLUSION: NIDDM seems to accelerate the 
      decline of the submaximal aerobic capacity evaluated through the 6MWD.
