Abstract :
Background Diabetes is among the prevalent chronic
non-communicable diseases, which in recent decades has dragged much
attentions toward improving care of patients in Iran. Objectives The
current study aimed to compare the health-promoting lifestyle of
patients with and without diabetes. Methods In the current study, 150
patients with diabetes and 150 patients without diabetes referred to the
Imam Hossein subspecialty Clinic in Shahroud in 2014 were enrolled. Data
collection tools included a 52-item lifestyle questionnaire and a
22-item nutritional behavior and dietary habits questionnaire. Data were
analyzed using ANOVA and conditional multiple logistic regression.
Results The mean score of nutritional behavior in patients with and
without diabetes were 20.9 ± 3.9 and 19.9 ± 4.1, respectively. Over 75%
of the patients with diabetes had not passed the training course. The
results of multivariate model showed the odds of having diabetes in
people with obesity was 2.6 times more than that of the people with
normal weight. Interpersonal relationship, stress management, physical
activity and nutrition scores in patients with diabetes were
significantly lower than those of the patients without diabetes (P
< 0.05). Negative relationship was observed between physical
activity and diabetes (odds ratio (OR) = 0.916; 95% confidence interval
(CI) = 0.850-0.987). Conclusions Patients with diabetes need more
attention and care to manage diabetes to change their lifestyle to
adjust with their conditions. Stress management, improved interpersonal
relationships, physical activity and diet in this group can have a role
to control the disease.
