다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to analyze the relationship between diabetes and moderate physical activity related to quality of life using the 8th National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES) data conducted in 2019 and 2021. There were a total of 5,0498, Among the participants, 36.7% belonged to the normal group with moderate-intensity physical activity, while 63.3% were in the normal group without moderate-intensity physical activity. Additionally, 24.8% belonged to the pre-diabetic group with physical activity, while 75.2% were in the pre-diabetic group without physical activity. Furthermore, 17.6% belonged to the diabetic group with physical activity, while 82.4% were in the diabetic group without physical activity.
Data processing for the difference in quality of life between the groups was subjected to post-hoc testing using the Games-Howell method, which does not assume homogeneity of variance. The study findings indicated that, in relation to differences in quality of life between groups, the normal group with moderate-intensity physical activity exhibited a mean difference of over 2 points compared to the diabetic group without moderate-intensity physical activity. In particular, In addition, the pre-diabetic group with moderate-intensity physical activity demonstrated a mean difference of more than 2 points from the diabetic group without moderate-intensity physical activity, and the diabetic group without physical activity had a lower quality of life compared to all other groups. Hence, it is advisable to encourage individuals with diabetes to actively participate in physical activity and enhance their subjective self-management efforts.
