Non-Linear Association Between Physical Activities and Type 2 Diabetes in 2.4 Million Korean Population, 2009–2022: A Nationwide Representative Study
In a large South Korean sample, higher PA is not always associated with a lower prevalence of type 2 diabetes, as the association follows a non-linear pattern; differences existed across sociodemographic variables. Considering the joint association, an adequate combination of MPA and VPA is recommended. The frequency of PA does not significantly influence the type 2 diabetes prevalence.
