Impaired fasting glucose is a condition of elevated glucose circulating in the blood plasma. According to the definition, a fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes.h
The joint study led by the Anton de Kom University of Suriname suggested that the prevalence of diabetes as a risk factor among ethnic groups might be different between these groups(1).


Regular physical activity has long been found to associate with the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases, but regular walking contributes to reduced risk and progression of Impaired Fasting Glucose in the younger and older elderly have been lacking, probably due to the effectiveness of modern diet restriction(2)(3) in syndrome controlling.

The Anhui Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention joint study in Primary Care and Community Settings in Anhui Province, China, showed the prominent of organized informal health promotion activities (eg, walking and tai chi groups) in improving systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and both fasting and 2-hour post-prandial blood glucose(4).

Indeed, active participants. in a random control of one of five 13-week exercise programs such as walking, profoundly improved blood pressure, body composition, fasting lipids and glucose, and maximal aerobic power (VO2max)(5).

Dr. Walker KZ and colleagues at Deakin University in support of regular walking in reduced risk of Impaired Fasting Glucose said, in 12 weeks of walking study "walking increased the fitness of diabetic and normoglycemic women. Improvement of fasting blood glucose was related to the loss of centralized body fat rather than to improved fitness"(6).

In fact, Regular Walking is also found to reduce the risk of Progression of Impaired Fasting Glucose to Early onset of type 2 diabetes and Diabetes Complications in Older Adults. As we have mentioned in the previous article provided below(7).

Regular physical activity has long been found to associate with the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases, but the regular walking contribution to health benefits of the younger elderly has not been explored.


According to the Catholic University of Daegu, implementing a regular walking and exercise program in older adult reduce the incidence of type II diabetes complications, through expressions of physical strength, and energy consumption (behavioral aspects), and decreased FBG, HbA1c, and TG levels (biochemical aspects(1).

In the review of Three databases, searched up to August 2014 of Eighteen studies involving 20 RCTs (866 participants) among type 2 diabetes patients, regular walking not only supported the decrease of HbA1c and BMI but also lowered the DBP among type 2 diabetes patients(2).

Dr. Fritz T and colleagues at the Center of Family Medicine, Karolinska Institutet said, "increase of regular physical activity equivalent to 45 min of walking 3 days/week may suffice to improve systolic and diastolic blood pressure, lipid metabolism and BMI "(3); improvement of plasma protein concentrations that promote blood hyperviscosity(4) and on cardiovascular risk factors and body composition in normoglycemic in patients with type 2 diabetes(5)

In fact, regular exercise not only reduces complications of type 2 diabetes in older adults (1)(2)(3) but
also prevents the early onset of the disease, due to its effect on the reduced prevalence of hyperglycemia and improved glycaemic control(9). According to Dr. Thyfault JP and Dr. Booth FW, physical inactivity (bed rest, increased sitting time, and reduced daily ambulatory activity), increases the risk of metabolic dysfunctions in contributing to the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes(6).

Physical inactivity, in sedentary behaviors, especially sitting may have a major impact on mortality, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome risk factors, and obesity as a result of inactivity initiated unique cellular processes involved metabolically unfit(7) of which may contribute to early onset diabetes.
Dr. Thyfault JP and Dr. Krogh-Madsen R. at the University of Missouri said, ' The transition from physical activity to inactivity may result in insulin sensitivity, central adiposity and risk of chronic disease(8)].
