New research shows that morning and afternoon physical activity are associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes across all population levels of education and income, but found no statistically significant association between evening physical activity and risk type 2 diabetes.
shows that morning and afternoon physical activity are associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes across all population levels of education and income, but found no statistically significant association between evening physical activity and risk type 2 diabetes. The study is by Dr Caiwei Tian, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA, and Dr Chirag Patel, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. and colleagues.
A cohort of 93,095 UK Biobank participants without a history of type 2 diabetes wore a wrist-worn accelerometer for 1 week. The authors converted accelerometer information to estimate metabolic equivalent of task , summing MET-hours of total physical activity. MET-hour physical activity captures all types of activity undertaken by an individual throughout the day and measured with the accelerometer, including chores, walking, and vigorous activity.
The authors observed protective associations of physical activity, with each 1-unit increase in MET being associated with a 10% and 9% reduction in risk of type 2 diabetes in the morning and afternoon, respectively. However, there was no statistically significant association between evening physical activity and risk of type 2 diabetes.
The authors thought that lifestyle factors, such as amount of sleep and dietary intake, would influence the amount of physical activity in the morning, afternoon, and evening undertaken, and therefore the role activity has in diabetes risk. To address how these factors influence physical activity, the authors considered these factors in their analytic models. They found that when adjusting for lifestyle factors, associations for MET-hours with different times of day became more precise.
