Background: Physical inactivity and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)–associated inflammatory biomarkers are correlated with poor quality of life (QoL). However, no study has investigated the synergistic effect of physical activity (PA) and lower neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on QoL. Objective: We examined the independent and synergistic effects of PA and inflammatory biomarkers on three domains of QoL in T2DM. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 294 patients with T2DM from community clinics in Indonesia. The 36-item Short Form Survey and a questionnaire about PA engagement were used to measure QoL and metabolic equivalent of task (MET)-hr/week, respectively. Inflammatory biomarkers were measured in fasting blood. Adjusted coefficients β and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using multiple linear regression. The synergistic effect was analyzed using additive interaction for linear regression. Results: Patients with PA ≥ 7.5 MET-hr/week exhibited significantly higher total QoL (β = 8.41, 95% CI = [6.04, 10.78]) and physical component score (PCS; β = 13.90, 95% CI = [10.52, 17.29]) than those with PA < 7.5 MET-hr/week. Patients with NLR < 1.940 had significantly higher total QoL (β = 4.76, 95% CI = [3.41, 6.11]), mental component score (MCS; β = 2.62, 95% CI = [0.75, 4.49]), and PCS (β = 6.89, 95% CI = [4.97, 8.82]) than patients with NLR ≥ 1.940. PA ≥ 7.5 MET-hr/week and NLR < 1.940 exhibited a synergistic effect on total QoL, MCS, and PCS. Conclusions: High PA level and low NLR had a positive synergistic effect on QoL among patients with T2DM.

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes mellitus compromises physical, psychological, economic, and social life. OBJECTIVES To identify and compare the quality of life, depression, functional performance, and physical activity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who use insulin or not. METHODS A observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, comparative study involving 100 patients (50 use insulin and 50 do not) from a Teaching Hospital. Questionnaires used: Identification and Socioeconomic Profile; SF-36; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; Visual Analogue Scale for Pain; Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, and International Physical Activity Questionnaire. RESULTS Sample composed predominantly by middle-aged, female, married, retired, and with incomplete elementary school individuals. There is impairment in all domains of quality of life, being more intense in functional capacity, physical limitations, pain, social aspects, limitation by emotional aspects, and mental health (P<0.05). There is a significant prevalence of anxiety or depressive symptoms in the groups, especially in those using insulin. However, the occurrence of the corresponding psychiatric disorders is unlikely (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in neuropathic pain between the groups (P=0.2296). Functional impairment is similar in both groups regarding self-care activities (P=0.4494) and productivity (P=0.5759), with a greater deterioration of leisure time in patients on insulin (P=0.0091). Most of them practice physical activity, predominantly walking, with no significant difference when comparing the groups (P>0.05), as well as in the other modalities. CONCLUSION Insulinized patients present greater impairment of functional capacity and socialization, as well as greater neuropathic pain, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
