Analysing physical activity measures and clustering in patients with type 2 diabetes in secondary care: insights from the DIAbetes and LifEstyle Cohort Twente (DIALECT)-an observational cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To analyse variance in accelerometer-based physical activity (PA) measures in patients with type 2 diabetes, identify the most distinctive PA measures and classify patients into different PA clusters based on these measures.

Design

DIAbetes and LifEstyle Cohort Twente (DIALECT), an observational cohort study.

Setting

Secondary care in the Netherlands.

Participant

253 patients, with three excluded due to insufficient data. The cohort was predominantly male (66%) with an average age of 64.7 years.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

The primary outcomes of DIALECT were all-cause mortality, microvascular and macrovascular diseases. The secondary outcomes are blood pressure levels, kidney function indicators and albuminuria levels RESULTS: Prin
