Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Diabetic group; 100 randomly selected older adults with DM II, of both sexes who are attending endocrine outpatient clinics in governmental hospitals.	Diagnostic test: relative Hand grip strength; To perform this study the relative handgrip strength (rHGS) index was used. The rHGSi is defined as the sum of the handgrip strength of both hands divided by body mass index (BMI), and it is considered a better prognostic tool than handgrip strength. rHGS was measured by Jamar hand dynamometer. The Functional Performance was determined by using 3 tests of the Senior Fitness Test (The 30-second chair stand test, the 8-feet Up-and-Go test, and the 2 minutes' Walk Test).; Diagnostic test: senior fitness test; The Functional Performance was determined by using 3 tests of the Senior Fitness Test (The 30-second chair stand test, the 8-feet Up-and-Go test, and the 2 minutes' Walk Test).
Active Comparator: non diabetic group; 100 older adults non diabetic, of both sexes who are attending endocrine outpatient clinics in governmental hospitals.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
relative Hand grip strength	the sum of the handgrip strength of both hands divided by body mass index (BMI)	Baseline
The 30-Second Chair Test	The 30-Second Chair Test is a standing exercise where participants sit in a folding chair without arms, with their feet shoulder-width apart and arms crossed. The test requires the participant to perform full stands within 30 seconds, with the goal of completing the task without using their arms.	Baseline
8-feet Up-and-Go test	Place a chair and marker 8 feet apart, clear the path, and start seated. Start timing, then quickly stand, walk, and walk around a cone, returning to the chair. Stop timing as needed. Perform two trials.	Baseline
2 min walk test	For two minutes, the person is urged to walk as quickly as they can while remaining safe and independent, and the distance is recorded.	Baseline
