Association Between Leisure Time Physical Activity and Insulin Resistance: Analysis of NHANES 2007-2018
= 0.950). A significant overall association was observed between LTPA and IR risk (P-overall <0.001), with a non-linear dose-response pattern (P-non-linear = 0.022), with benefits plateauing at 450 min/week. Regular LTPA of 300-450 min/week may be optimal for preventing insulin resistance. These findings highlight the importance of engaging in regular LTPA for 300-450 min/week to maintain insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of diabetes.
