Researchers have found that engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity during leisure time, Regardless of Occupational Physical Activity, is associated with a Reduced Risk of Type 2. A combination of sedentary leisure-time Activity and Demanding Occupational Activity May Increase the Risk.

Findings from a novel study, appearing in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine Add to the body of knowledge that simple lifestyle changes, like Recreational Physical Activity, Can Make a Big Difference and Can Contribute to the Global Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes.

The Prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Has more than Doubled Worldwide Over the Past Decade, Making it a Major Public Health Burden and a Societal Challenge.

First Author ANNA Stage, MSC, Center for Clinical Research and Prevention, Frederiksberg and Bispebjerg Hospital, Denmark, Says, “The World Health Organization (Who) States THISITY CONTITES Anaging Noncommunicable Diseases Such as Cardiovascular diseases and Type 2 Diabetes .

“The current who physical activity guidelines do not distinguish in which domains (EG, work or leisure time) The recommended physical activity takes place.

“Our Findings Reveled That While Leisure-Time Physical Activity Demonstrated A Significant Protective Effect on Type 2 Diabetes Incidence of Regardless of Occ Occupational Physical Activity Level Efits were observed for Occupational physical activity, suggesting that ‘Physical Activity Health Paradox,’ which refers To the Contrasting Association of Physical Activity during the time and obccupational physical activity with Cardiovascular Disease, May also apply to Type 2 Diabetes.

“Currently the evidence is inconsistent and scarce.”

This register-based study utilized data from 5,866 Working Adults aged 30–60 in the Inter99 Cohort in Denmark. Assessment of Type 2 Diabetes Status and Date of Diagnosis was based on the Danish Diabetes Register Covering Prevalent and Incident Diabetes from January 1, 1996 to June 30, 2020.

In addition to undergoing a physical examination, participants answer a questionnaire about their levels of Occupational physical activity and leisure-time physical activity. Data was analyzed in 2024, Taking Relevant Variables Into Account.

The main findings of the research are:

• Strenuous Physical Activity at Work BE Associateed With Incident Type 2 Diabetes, however, this was not a statistically signature finding.
• Physical Activity during LEISURE TIME With Moderate to Vigorous Intensity was Associated With A Significantly Lower Risk of Type 2 Diabetes.
• Sedentary leisure-time activity, such as watching tv or reading, combined with a job that requires any kind of physical activity, was significantly associated with an in-incredited Risk of Type 2.
• Moderate to Vigorous Intensity Physical Activity during LEISURE TIME Combined with any Level of Occupational Physical activity was protective for incident type 2 diabetes.

Stage Says, “It is notworthy that the whisical activity do not distrust URS is sufficient to complete with Current Activity Guidelines.

“However, our Findings Along with that of others underscore that leisure-time, not occupational, mooderate to vigorous physical activity sems to reduce the Risk of Incident Type 2 Diabet Ases, and all-cause mortality. “
