Higher Physical Activity Linked to Lower Type 2 Diabetes Risk in Older Adults

📋 Key Takeaway

Research presented at the EASD Annual Meeting indicates that increased physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, especially in younger adults. This finding is relevant for public health initiatives in Iran, where diabetes is a growing concern. Promoting physical activity could lead to better health outcomes for the aging population in the country.

New research being presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy (Sept. 28–Oct. 2), suggests that higher levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) are associated with a substantially lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D), particularly among younger adults.
