ResumoBackground: Diabesity patients are at high risk for cardiovascular morbidity and deaths. The combination of type 2 diabetes and obesity causes 5 to 8 times progressive increase in death rates. so early detection and treatment are very important. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is the most powerful predictor for risk of mortality than other established traditional risk factors like obese, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, smoking history, cardiac diseases. Low cardiorespiratory fitness increases cardiovascular mortality. Materials and Methods: Total 30 subjects with Group A - Diabesity patients (n=15) and Group B - Normal healthy subjects (n=15) were included in this study according to height, weight, BMI, WC, HbA1c. VO2max was evaluated by 6minutes walk test to assess the cardiorespiratory fitness and compared between the groups. Results: Results showed that there is a statistically significant decrease in VO2max in group A- Diabesity patients (VO2 max mean values 21.74 ml/kg/min) when compared to Group B-Normal healthy subjects (34.21 ml/kg/min) with p- Value 0.0000 which is less than 0.05. Conclusion: This study concluded that cardiorespiratory fitness was lower in diabesity patients when compared to normal healthy subjects. Hence physiotherapy exercises should be incorporated in Asian Indian men with diabesity to improve CRF.
