Latent classes of exercise behavior and their relationship with weight⁃related quality of life in young overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Abstract
ObjectiveTo identify latent classes of exercise behavior in young overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to analyze their relationship with weight⁃related quality of life.MethodsFrom January to September 2025,a total of 382 young overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited from the endocrinology departments of one tertiary hospital and one secondary hospital in Jiangsu province.Surveys were conducted using the General Information Questionnaire,the Chinese version of the Eating Behavior Assessment Scale for Obese Patients,the Social Support Rating Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale,the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index,the Exercise Assessment Scale for Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,and the Impact of Weight on Quality of Life⁃Lite Version.ResultsExercise behavior in young overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus could be classified into three latent classes:the weak knowledge⁃belief with delayed behavior group(19.1%),the good knowledge⁃belief with improved behavior group(52.6%),and the stable knowledge⁃belief with active behavior group(28.3%).Linear regression analysis showed that diabetes comorbidities,body mass index,eating behavior,anxiety and depression,and latent classes of exercise behavior were influencing factors of weight⁃related quality of life in young overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(P<0.05).ConclusionsExercise behavior in young overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus exhibits population heterogeneity.Healthcare providers should develop individualized and targeted intervention strategies based on patients' exercise behavior classes to mitigate the adverse impact of weight on patients' lives.
