Brief summary

Elderly with diabetic kidney disease who practiced Thai dance meditation training more favorable adaptations than normal daily life in improving glycemic control, kidney function, vascular function and cerebrovascular function.

Detailed description

This cross-sectional study was to compare glycemic control, kidney function, vascular function, cerebrovascular function, physical fitness and quality of life between elderly with diabetic kidney disease who practiced Thai dance meditation training and normal daily life.

Interventions

OTHERThai dance meditation

Thai dance meditation training program will be based on aerobic Thai dance exercise combined with Buddhist meditation. The participants will perform aerobic Thai dance meditation while concentrated on hand movements through counting the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 on the 1st round and continuing on the 2nd round, counting as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 2…. Repeat for 8 rounds. Thai dance meditation will be conducted at mild to moderate intensity (40-60% heart rate reserve) and in phase 2 (week 7-12), the training intensity will be increased to moderate intensity (50-60% heart rate reserve). In both phases the training will be performed foe 50 minutes, 3 times per week.

Inclusion criteria

* The inclusion criteria included diabetic kidney disease (DKD) (as defined by the KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes 2012), a baseline glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) value of 7-9%, albumin-to creatinine ratio (ACR): A3 \[\>300 mg/day; ACR, \>300 mg/g (\>30 mg/mmol)\], GFR category 3 (moderately decreased) has now been divided into categories G3a \[45-59 mL/ min1 /(1.73m2) and G3b \[30 -44 mL/ min1/(1.73 m2) which represent mildly to moderately decreased function and moderately to severely decreased function and no previous exercise training in the past 6 months. * All participants were free from diabetic retinopathy, severe diabetic neurophathy, severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. * Participants had Montreal Cognitive Assessment - Thai (MoCa-T) scores between 18 24 points. * Not having uncontrolled high blood pressure (Systolic blood pressure; SBP) \>159 mmHg and Diastolic blood pressure; DBP) \> 99 mmHg

Exclusion criteria

\- Participants were excluded if they dropped out or completed less than 80% of the training schedule
