24-hour Movement Behaviors Among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

December 7, 2023 updated by: University Hospital, Ghent

A healthy lifestyle has proved beneficial health effects in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Important lifestyle behaviors, i.e. sleep, sedentary time (SB), and physical activity (PA) subdivided into light physical activity (LPA) and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), have shown an impact on T2DM disease-specific characteristics (e.g. glycemic control). However, these behaviors have often been investigated separately. Therefore, a recent shift in research emphasizes the importance of considering these behaviors as part of a 24-hour day.

Since T2DM patients can benefit from an optimal 24-hour composition as part of a healthy lifestyle, it may be interesting to investigate the 24-hour movement composition among these T2DM patients over time. Moreover, exploring associations with different personal determinants, environmental determinants, and cardiometabolic markers will provide meaningful insights in developing recommendations and creating an intervention.

Detailed Description

The present study aims (1) to conduct a longitudinal observational study over two years to explore 24-hour movement behavior composition patterns among T2DM patients in comparison with a healthy control group and (2) to examine associations between these movement behaviors and personal and environmental determinants, and cardiometabolic markers. This study's primary endpoint is to develop insights into the 24-hour movement composition combined with T2DM patients' characteristics, determinants, and health profile to set the groundwork with the aim to develop, implement and evaluate an intervention in a future randomized controlled trial

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
type 2 diabetes mellitus group
124 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus will be included
This project contains a longitudinal observational study design. The investigator will collect data out of a group with type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and out of group with control adults on three time points (baseline, follow-up after one year, and follow-up after two years). Therefore, the investigator will only collect observational data and the participants will not be exposed to a certain intervention.
control group
124 control adults will be included
This project contains a longitudinal observational study design. The investigator will collect data out of a group with type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and out of group with control adults on three time points (baseline, follow-up after one year, and follow-up after two years). Therefore, the investigator will only collect observational data and the participants will not be exposed to a certain intervention.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in 24-hour movement composition from baseline over one year and two-year follow-up
Time Frame: Baseline
During their visit to Ghent University hospital, participants will receive a wGT3X-BT ActiGraph accelerometer that will objectively measure their 24-hour movement behaviors (PA, SB, and sleep). The participants will wear the accelerometer for seven consecutive days. Additionally, this accelerometer data will be supplemented with a diary to validate sleep time and (non)wear time. Furthermore, the individuals will subjectively report on their PA, SB, and sleep (duration and quality) through an online questionnaire based on international standardized PA (IPAQ), SB (SIT-Q-7d), and sleep questionnaires (Munich Chronotype questionnaire, Pittsburg sleep quality index, and Sleep Hygiene Index) (IPAQ, Sit-7Q, Munich Chronotype questionnaire, and Pittsburg sleep quality index, Sleep Hygiene Index). By collecting the same variable on three timepoints, it is possible to determine if this outcome will change or remain stable over time.
