What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
One of the most common chronic metabolic diseases in the elderly population throughout the world is Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).As age goes up, insulin sensitivity decreases, glucose metabolism becomes impaired, people become sedentary, and obesity increases, all of which lead to poor glycemic control.The glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) is a significant marker of the long-term management of blood glucose and is commonly used to assess diabetes management.Current diabetes treatment focuses on lifestyle changes in addition to medication to optimise health outcomes.Yoga is one of the non-pharmacological therapeutic techniques that has shown to be a promising therapy because of its positive effects on physical fitness, metabolic efficiency, autonomic balance and psychological well-being.Chair Sun Salutations is a modified and accessible version of the traditional Surya Namaskar sequence for older adults who have limited mobility and/or balance issues.In the present study, the efficacy of Yogic practices with Chair Sun Salutation on HbA1c level in geriatric male population with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was studied.The total 90 participants aged between 65 to 80 years were randomly divided into experimental group (n = 45) and control group (n = 45).The experimental group received the structured yogic intervention (SYI) of breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, meditation, and Chair Sun Salutations for 60 minutes daily, 6 days a week for 16 weeks.The control group continued with regular activities with active rest.HbA1c was assessed at the beginning and end of the intervention.The statistical analysis showed that there was a significant decrease in HbA1c among the individuals in the experimental group compared with the control group.The results suggest that it is possible to improve the glycemic control of elderly diabetic males to a significant extent by regular practice of adapted yogic practices.The study underscores the importance of incorporating yoga-based interventions into holistic diabetes care strategies to improve metabolic health, prevent complications, and promote overall well-being in the geriatric population.
