Meeting physical activity and resistance exercise guidelines associated with significantly reduced prevalence of diabetes in older adults
Adherence to physical activity guidelines, especially leisure-time physical activity and resistance exercise, is associated with a reduced prevalence of diabetes in older adults. Meeting both sets of guidelines may significantly lower the risk of diabetes compared to not meeting any. These findings highlight the crucial role of regular physical activity in preventing diabetes amongst older individuals, with the potential for a significant public health impact.
