This study protocol outlines a randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of a yoga-based lifestyle intervention on endothelial function and vascular ageing in 248 adults with type 2 diabetes. The primary outcome is the change in endothelial function measured by flow-mediated dilatation after a 12-week intervention. The trial aims to explore holistic approaches to reduce cardiovascular risk in this population.

Key findings

  • The primary outcome is the change in endothelial function assessed by flow-mediated dilatation.
  • Participants will be aged between 30 and 70 years with a confirmed diagnosis of T2DM for at least 1 year.
  • The intervention will consist of supervised yoga sessions twice weekly for 12 weeks.

Why it matters

Cardiovascular disease remains a significant risk for individuals with type 2 diabetes, and this study aims to explore non-pharmacological interventions that could improve vascular health and quality of life.
