Habitual physical activity and diabetes control in young and older adults with type II diabetes: a longitudinal correlational study
Open accessAbstract
This study aimed to determine whether daily physical activity in young and older adults with T2DM is associated with diabetes control. A prospective correlational study involving 206 young (≤65 years) and older (>65 years) adults was conducted. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess their daily physical activity levels. Patients' mean HbA1c level was 7.8% (±1.4), and 95.9% of patients had unsatisfactory diabetes control. Performing more minutes per week of moderate-intensity daily physical activity was associated with a lower risk of glycemia in both young and older adults. Furthermore, moderate daily physical activity significantly lowered the risk of glycemia. Health personnel must encourage patients to engage in moderate daily physical activities to improve diabetes control.

Physical activity is effective in reducing mortality, comorbidities, and clinical parameters such as HbA1c in people with diabetes.
“Physical activity has been shown to be effective in reducing mortality, comorbidities, and clinical parameters such as glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA 1c ) (6)(7)(8).”
From Optimal Dose and Type of Physical Activity to Improve Glycemic Control in People Diagnosed With Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (2024) · cites this paper as [7]
The Introduction reports studies in which exercise reduced HbA1c in people with type 2 diabetes, and the Conclusions associate moderate daily activity with better glycemic control. Neither section reports that physical activity reduces mortality or comorbidities in people with diabetes. The paper's own study is correlational, so it also does not establish that daily activity caused the improvement. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
