Effects of Tai Chi Chuan on balance function in adults 60 years or older with type 2 diabetes and mild cognitive impairment in China: A secondary analysis of a multi-center randomized clinical trial.
Aims: To investigate the effect of Tai Chi Chuan on balance function in adults 60 years or older with type 2 diabetes and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in China.
Materials and methods: This was a three-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial with concealed allocation, assessor blinding, intention-to-treat (ITT), and per-protocol (PP) analysis. 328 adults 60 years or older, with a diagnosis of both type 2 diabetes and MCI, were randomly allocated into Tai Chi Chuan group, fitness walking group, and control group. All three groups were provided with a 30-min diabetes self-management education session, once every 4 weeks, for 24 weeks. In addition, the Tai Chi Chuan group received 24-form simplified Tai Chi Chuan. The fitness walking group received fitness walking training. Both Tai Chi Chuan and fitness walking groups took the training for 60 min/session, three times/week, for 24 weeks in a supervised setting. After completing the 24-week interventions, the participants were encouraged to continue exercise until the 36-week follow-up evaluation. The outcomes were time up and go (TUG) assessments, one leg standing test (OLST), functional reach test (FRT), grip strength, 5 time sit to stand test (5STS), modified fall efficacy scale (MFES), and falls data at baseline, 24 weeks, and 36 weeks follow-up.
Results: At 36 weeks, the Tai Chi Chuan group was significantly more effective in decreasing the TUG-cognitive-motor (mean difference, -0.72; 95% CI -1.37 to -0.06), OLST (eyes-closed, right leg) (mean difference, 1.02; 95% CI 0.24-1.80), FRT (mean difference, 2.00; 95% CI 0.57-3.42), 5STS (mean difference, -0.66; 95% CI -1.28 to -0.04), and MFES (mean difference, 0.36; 95% CI 0.15-0.56) compared with the fitness walking group. The Tai Chi Chuan group showed significantly fewer total falls during 36-week experimental period compared with the fitness walking group. PP analysis demonstrated similar results as the ITT analysis.
Conclusions: Among the older adults with type 2 diabetes and MCI, Tai Chi Chuan was more effective than fitness walking and control at improving balance function and reducing fall risk.

Journal of Diabetes Investigation is your core diabetes journal from Asia; the official journal of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD). The journal publishes original research, country reports, commentaries, reviews, mini-reviews, case reports, letters, as well as editorials and news. Embracing clinical and experimental research in diabetes and related areas, the Journal of Diabetes Investigation includes aspects of prevention, treatment, as well as molecular aspects and pathophysiology. Translational research focused on the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers is also welcome. Journal of Diabetes Investigation is indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
