Joint Associations of Intensity-Specific Physical Activity and Adiposity With Incident Microvascular Disease Among Prediabetes: A Prospective Cohort Study
The findings suggested that short-time vigorous-intensity PA (approximate 18 min/wk) may reduce the risk of MVDs in all strata of adiposity, whereas the protective role of high light-intensity PA was mainly prominent in those with low adiposity among prediabetes. These findings highlighted the need to personalize PA advice combined with adiposity management to improve microvascular health.
