Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycaemia, leading to complications such as cardiovascular disease and kidney failure. The increasing prevalence of T2DM necessitates effective management strategies, including complementary therapies like bay leaf (Syzygium polyanthum), which has demonstrated potential for glycaemic control. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of bay leaf decoction in improving glycaemic control among T2DM patients in Malangan Village. Methods: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) involved 60 adults aged 30-65 years with fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels between 126-200 mg/dL, selected through purposive sampling. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group receiving a bay leaf decoction (10 grams in 250 mL water, twice daily for 12 weeks) or a control group receiving a placebo decoction. Primary outcomes included changes in FBS, while secondary outcomes assessed postprandial blood sugar (PBS) and HbA1c. Compliance and adverse events were monitored, and data were analysed using paired and independent t-tests (p < 0.05). Results: The intervention group showed significant reductions in FBS, PBS, and HbA1c levels compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Older age, female gender, and higher education correlated with improved glycaemic control, while obesity and hypertension were associated with poorer outcomes. No severe adverse events were reported. Conclusion: Bay leaf decoction significantly improves glycaemic control through mechanisms such as enhanced insulin sensitivity, α-glucosidase inhibition, and antioxidant properties. This natural, cost-effective approach is promising as a complementary therapy for T2DM. Future research should explore long-term effects, optimal dosage, and integration with lifestyle interventions to maximize benefits.

Abstract

The global rise in obesity necessitates effective interventions, particularly for women, who often face unique challenges. This study investigates the comparative effects of low-impact aerobic exercise and Pilates on body fat percentage reduction in obese women, considering the moderating role of age. A quantitative experimental design with pre- and post-tests was employed, involving 40 obese women recruited through purposive sampling. Participants engaged in either low-impact aerobic exercise or Pilates for eight weeks, with body fat percentage measured using skinfold calipers. Two-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data, revealing significant differences between exercise types and age groups. Low-impact aerobics demonstrated a greater reduction in body fat percentage compared to Pilates. Adolescents experienced a more pronounced reduction with aerobics, while adults benefited more from Pilates. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring exercise interventions to age-specific needs. Furthermore, social intelligence, motivation, adherence, and social support were identified as crucial factors in program success. This study underscores the potential of integrating social and psychological elements into physiotherapy practices to enhance weight management outcomes in obese women. The results provide valuable insights for designing targeted exercise programs that consider both physical and social-emotional factors.
