Abstract
Objective of the study is to investigate the daily activities of people with hypertension or diabetes using a pedometer to count daily walking steps in one day. We measured walking steps during 1-3days in 23 subjects aged 40 years or over (mean age: 61years old, male/female:13/10) diagnosed as cases of hypertension or impaired glucose tolerance in Domkhar village. There was a significant negative correlation between age and walking steps (r =-0.71, p<0.001). The average walking steps in one day were 8603 in male and 5821 in female, respectively. It is assumed that lifestyle-related diseases are increasing in Domkhar village due to modern lifestyle change. Traditional lifestyle with simple meals and hard labor activities have changed into modernized one with a increase in taking high calories and a decrease in daily physical activities. Education and promotion of healthy exercise and diet might be recommended for prevention of aggravation in ADL accompanying lifestyle-related diseases.
