Accelerometer-derived physical activity and mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes

Z. Cao, J. Min, et al.

This prospective cohort study unveils crucial insights into how accelerometer-measured physical activity impacts mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Conducted by Zhi Cao, Jiahao Min, Han Chen, Yabing Hou, Hongxi Yang, Keyi Si, and Chenjie Xu, the research highlights the stark reality that low physical activity levels contribute significantly to mortality risk, while greater intensity and duration of activity offer notable benefits.

Abstract

This prospective cohort study investigated the association between accelerometer-measured physical activity (PA) and mortality in 4003 individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) from the UK Biobank. Longer durations of PA, regardless of intensity, showed L-shaped associations with all-cause and cancer mortality risks, and a negative linear association with cardiovascular disease mortality. A substantial proportion of deaths were attributable to low levels of light, moderate, and vigorous-intensity PA. The findings suggest that greater intensity and duration of PA are beneficial for T2D patients.
