Article Synopsis
- Healthcare professionals in Singapore exhibit weight bias, with a study revealing similar levels of explicit bias among both qualified professionals and students.
- The research analyzed factors such as gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), and ethnicity's effect on weight bias, using surveys to gauge attitudes.
- Results indicated no significant differences in overall weight bias scores based on professional status, but variations were found in attitudes related to BMI, gender, and ethnicity, potentially impacting care for individuals with obesity.
Background: A prior study showed positive effects of resistance training on health status in individuals with diabetes compared to aerobic or no exercise, the exercise regimens were either different in volume, duration or rate of progression. We aimed to compare the effects of progressive resistance training (PRT) or aerobic training (AT) of similar volume over an 8-week period on health status (measured using the Short-form 36 Questionnaire) in middle aged adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Findings: Sixty subjects aged 58 (7) years were randomised to PRT (n = 30) or AT (n = 30).
