Impact of physical activity levels on the association between air pollution exposures and glycemic indicators in older individuals
We demonstrated longitudinal associations between air pollution exposures and increased insulin resistance in older individuals. Maintaining moderate-to-vigorous physical activity may mitigate the adverse effects of air pollution on insulin resistance. In older individuals dwelling in highly polluted areas, an increase of less than 12,000 METs-min/week may be beneficial for insulin resistance.
