Contribution

A novel FAHP framework for calculating physiological factor weights in diabetes exercise prescriptions, enabling personalized rehabilitation strategies.

Findings

Physical fitness and cardiovascular risk factors are most important.

Cardiopulmonary function has the highest weight among factors.

Blood lipids have the lowest importance.

Abstract

Exercise rehabilitation is an important part in the comprehensive management of patients with diabetes and there is a need to conduct comprehensively evaluation of several factors such as the physical fitness, cardiovascular risk and diabetic disease factors. However, special disease features of diabetes and its wide heterogeneity make it difficult to apply individualized approaches. In this study, a novel framework was established based on the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) approach to calculate various physiological factors weights when developing a diabetic exercise prescription. Proposed factors were investigated with respect to three groups which contains 12 different aspects. The relative weights were assessed by a database which established through a questionnaire survey. It is concluded that the physical fitness factors and cardiovascular risk factors need to be paid more attention to considered in the formulation of exercise rehabilitation programs than disease factors. And the cardiopulmonary function of physical fitness factors accounts for the highest importance. Furthermore, it was found that blood lipids have the lowest importance among studied factors. The mathematical model of exercise rehabilitation program for diabetes patients was established, which provided the theoretical basis for individualized guidance of exercise rehabilitation program.
