OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of independently or combined dietary and physical activity programs on the blood glucose values and lipid profile in patients with type 2 diabetes, including participants aged 60 years and over. DESIGN: Systematic review. DATA SOURCE: PubMed/Medline database, with language restrictions. Papers published between 2010 and 2016 were included. STUDY SELECTION: A total of 30 randomised controlled trials were included that focused on physical activity and dietary interventions in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and include participants aged 60 years and over. RESULTS: The selected articles have shown that the implementation of physical activity programs (aerobic, resistance, flexibility and combined exercises), and programs based on a higher intake of vegetables, grains, legumes, fruits, unsaturated fatty acids, as well as consumption of foods with low glycaemic index, calorie restriction, intake of probiotics, vitamin D supplementation and educational sessions about diabetes improves blood glucose levels, as well as the lipid profile, in patients with type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: Physical activity and dietary programs are fundamental in the treatment and metabolic control of type 2 diabetes mellitus. OBJETIVOS: Evaluar la efectividad de la implementación de programas de actividad física y dietética independientemente o combinados en los valores de glucosa en sangre y perfil lipídico en pacientes con diabetes tipo 2, incluyendo participantes de 60 años y más. DISEÑO: Revisión sistemática. FUENTES DE DATOS: PubMed/Medline, con restricciones de idioma. Se incluyeron artículos publicados entre 2010 y 2016. SELECCIÓN DE ESTUDIOS: Se incluyeron 30 estudios controlados aleatorios, centrados en la actividad física e intervenciones dietéticas en pacientes con diabetes tipo 2 que incluían sujetos de 60 años y más. RESULTADOS: Los artículos seleccionados han demostrado que la implementación de programas de actividad física (ejercicios aeróbicos, resistencia, flexibilidad y ejercicios combinados) y programas basados en una mayor ingesta de vegetales, granos, legumbres, frutas, ácidos grasos insaturados, el consumo de alimentos con bajo índice glucémico, restricción calórica, ingesta de probióticos, suplementos de vitamina D y sesiones educativas sobre la diabetes mejoran los niveles glucémicos, así como el perfil lipídico en pacientes con diabetes tipo 2. CONCLUSIONES: Los programas de actividad física y dietéticos son fundamentales en el tratamiento y control metabólico de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2.
