Comparison of serum telomerase, CBC and insulin resistance and their relationship with physical fitness factors in active and sedentary elderly people under quarantine of coronavirus
Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare serum telomerase, CBC and insulin resistance and their relationship with physical fitness factors in active and sedentary elderly people under quarantine of coronavirus. In this study, healthy men and women with a mean age of 61.43±6/07 in coronavirus pandemic conditions participated in this study voluntarily. Subjects were divided into three groups of physical activity: high, medium and low. The international Physical Activity Level Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to assess the level of physical activity. Serum telomerase, CBC and insulin resistance were measured in different groups after measuring physical fitness factors. Results showed that BMI is higher in the sedentary group than the groups with moderate and high levels of physical activity; In addition, blood Hb and Hct levels were higher in the moderate physical activity group than in the sedentary group, but blood Plt levels were lower in the moderate physical activity group than in the sedentary group. Another result of the present study was the negative correlation of telomerase with BMI and the positive correlation of telomerase with Hb, Hct and RBC, although there was no correlation between telomerase and physical fitness factors. In addition, BMI was negatively correlated with fitness factors, glucose levels, insulin resistance and CBC. Physical fitness in the elderly people under quarantine of coronavirus has a positive relationship with some blood parameters but no correlation was observed between telomerase and insulin resistance with physical fitness.
