Summary:
In postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes, home-based multi-task exercise training significantly improved executive function and the TNF/IL-10 ratio compared to no intervention,
though it was associated with minimal adverse events related to physical strain.
| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | Postmenopausal women aged 50-75 years with type 2 diabetes. |
| Intervention | A home-based, dual-task exercise training program combining physical and cognitive tasks. |
| Comparison | No intervention or usual care without structured exercise training. |
| Outcome | The exercise program resulted in significant improvements in executive function (using standardized cognitive tests) and the TNF/IL-10 cytokine ratio. Additionally, participants showed better physical performance measures and glycemic control, with minimal adverse events. |
