Configurational paths to promoting physical activity among older adults with type 2 diabetes in China: an fsQCA study based on the multi-theory model

This study confirmed that the formation of physical activity in older adults with T2DM has multiple concurrent causal relationships and multiple configuration paths. By revealing the synergy among factors, the MTM framework has been expanded. This study offers a novel configuration perspective for understanding the physical activity behavior of this population and provides key evidence for designing diverse physical activity management measures.
