![]() The group-based physical-cognitive training could benefit older adults with T2DM in terms of maintaining ADL. The activity of daily living (ADL), TUG test ( P=0.002) and AST, hip extensors and abductors, knee extensors and flexors, ankle plantarflexors and dorsiflexors were different at 1-year follow-up. TUG, AST, hip abductors, knee flexors, ankle plantarflexors, and dorsiflexors strength differed at 8 weeks. The Timed Up & Go (TUG) test, alternate stepping test (AST), knee extensors, ankle plantarflexors, and dorsiflexors strength differed at 4 weeks. Global cognition, depressive symptoms, and fear of falling did not differ between groups at any time. Both groups reported similar rates of falls. All participants were assessed at baseline, 4 and 8 weeks after intervention, and 1-year follow-up. The exercise consisted of warm-up, aerobic exercise by nine square stepping, resistance exercise combined with cognitive training and cool down. The intervention program comprised of 24 training sessions of 45–60 min exercise for 8 weeks. Thirty-seven older adults with T2DM and balance impairment were randomly assigned to control and intervention groups. ![]() ![]() This study aimed to explore the effects of group-based physical-cognitive trainings on physical and psychological outcomes among older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and balance impairment. A combined training program might be beneficial on fall-related outcomes. Risks of falls among older adults are multifactorial in nature. ![]()
