Workouts can check diabetes after 40: Study
ANI Saturday, August 30, 2003
Washington - Middle-aged people with diabetes have been advised by experts to exercise regularly to
keep their insulin level under control.
A study by researchers at the Mayo Clinic has found that middle-aged and older people can't sustain
increased insulin sensitivity produced by aerobic exercise.
A decline in insulin sensitivity is normal as people age and that reduced insulin sensitivity makes
them more prone to developing diabetes.
The study which appears in the August issue of Diabetes, was conducted on 65 healthy, but mostly
sedentary, men and women aged 21 to 87.
They took part in a four-month long aerobic exercise program where the intensity and length of the
training sessions increased over time.
Researchers measured the subjects' insulin sensitivity, abdominal fat and enzyme systems involved in
cellular energy conversion at the beginning of the study, and again a few days after the final
exercise session.
"The insulin sensitivity of younger people remained higher four days after exercising. But no
increase was recorded in the middle-aged and older participants," lead investigator and
endocrinologist Dr K Sreekumaran Nair was quoted as saying by Health Scout.
"The [study] results may be helpful to pre-diabetic and diabetic patients and their health-care
providers as they plan more effective exercise regimens," Nair added.
