Yoga therapy is well known therapy for prediabetics, (Prevention of Type- 2 Diabetes Mellitus ie.T2DM)) which is safe, effective, and easy-to-learn. It can be practiced by adolescents, young adults, elderly and also persons with disabilities.
Aim: Effect of 6 months of yoga therapy on glycemic control among abdominal obesity diagnosed prediabetic young adults: A randomized controlled study.
Settings and Design: The study is conducted at Swasthya Kalyan Group of InstitutionsS, Jaipur for 6 months.
Materials and Methods: A total of 105 students, diagnosed as abdominal obesity, were selected and registered for the study from Swasthya Kalyan Group of Institutions, Jaipur as participants who were divided into interventional and control groups by computer-generated, randomized number sequence method. The yogic practice was advised to 52 study participants and the remaining 53 participants were advised not to do any exercise or yoga for 6 months. The glycemic outcome was evaluated by HbA1c which was examined at baseline, and at the end of 6 months.
Statistical Analysis Used: Paired t-test. Generalized estimating equations models were performed on the glycemic control variables to assess the differences between the intervention and control groups.
Results: The post-test analysis of 105 abdominal obesity diagnosed pre-diabetic adults's data inferred that the Intervention group has shown statistically significant (P < 0.05) effect on reducing HbA1C. However, no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) was observed when the Intervention group was compared with the control group on glycemic control (reducing HbA1c).
Actually, yoga is an effective alternative method, hence people with morbidities or who are unable to go for exercise can practice yoga at home which will help them for preventing the level of HbA1c and risk of Type II diabetes.
