Riesgo de desarrollar diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y actividad física en adultos de la parroquia El Valle, Loja

Chronic non-communicable diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM 2), are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in Ecuador and around the world. The aims of this research were to identify the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus, to determine physical activity, and to establish the association between the risk of developing this pathology and the physical activity in adults from the El Valle parish in the canton of Loja. This was a quantitative, cross-sectional study conducted with a population of 380 adults between 20 and 75 years of age and a sample of 107 people. The following results were obtained: the risk of developing DM 2 was predominant in women with 56.07%, especially between 55 and 64 years of age with 19.63%. Physical activity was at a moderate level in female patients with 25.23 %, mainly in women under 45 years of age with 16.05 %; while in male patients, physical activity was low with 14.47 %. Moderate physical activity, which was 24.30 % in men and 27.10 % in women, was associated with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus, with a statistically significant relationship with a value of p = 0.002, showing that by performing high-intensity physical activity, there is a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus.
