STAND up, it’s good for you!
Sitting less could be more
important than vigorous activity
when it comes to preventing
diabetes, according to a new study.
The study involved 153 people,
and was led by a team from the
University of Leicester, with
researchers examining how
sitting time, breaks in sitting time,
moderate to vigorous activity and
total activity independently
affected the likelihood of
developing type 2 diabetes.
According to the results, in
adults at high risk of type 2
diabetes, time spent sedentary is
strongly and adversely associated
with cardiometabolic health and
may be a more important indicator
of poor health than moderate-tovigorous
physical activity.
