Effect of 12 Weeks of Yoga Therapy on Quality of Life and Indian Diabetes Risk Score in Normotensive Indian Young Adult Prediabetics and Diabetics: Randomized Control Trial.
Introduction India has become the epicentre for diabetes , a stress-related disorder affecting the working skills and day-to-day lifestyle management of younger population . Most of the studies have reported the effect of yoga on improving Quality of Life ( QoL ) in diabetic patients with other comorbidities . Till date , no r and omized control trial reports are available to show the effect of yoga therapy on QoL and Indian Diabetes Risk Score ( IDRS ) in normotensive prediabetic and diabetic young individuals . Aim To determine the effect of 12 weeks of yoga therapy on QoL and IDRS among normotensive prediabetic and diabetic young Indian adults . Material s and Methods A r and omized control trial was conducted in Endocrinology Outpatient Department ( OPD ) . Normotensive participants ( n=310 ) aged 18 - 45 years were divided into healthy controls ( n=62 ) , prediabetics ( n=124 ) and diabetics ( n=124 ) . Study group subjects were r and omly assigned to Group II ( n=62 , prediabetes-st and ard treatment ) , Group III ( n=62 , prediabetes-st and ard treatment + yoga therapy ) , Group IV ( n=62 , diabetes-st and ard treatment ) and Group V ( n=62 , diabetes-st and ard treatment + yoga therapy ) . Flanagan QoL scale , IDRS question naire , Fasting Plasma Glucose ( FPG ) and insulin were assessed pre and post 12 weeks of intervention . Statistical analysis was done using Student 's paired t-test and one-way ANOVA . Results Pre-post intervention analysis showed significant improvement in QoL scale with p<0.01 in Group II and Group IV ; p<0.001 in Group III and Group V respectively . There was significant reduction in IDRS in Group II ( p<0.05 ) ; p<0.001 in Group III , Group IV and Group V respectively . Significant difference ( p<0.001 ) in QoL scale and IDRS were found when study groups with st and ard treatment along with yoga therapy were compared to st and ard treatment alone . Conclusion Yoga therapy along with st and ard treatment for 12 weeks improved QoL and attenuated the diabetes risk among Indian prediabetics and diabetics compared to st and ard treatment alone
