Level, types and determinants of physical activity in children with type 1 diabetes and their parents: A cross‐sectional study
Authors' conclusion
Most of the children with type 1 diabetes did not reach generally recommended 60 min of brisk PA a day. Exercising with a parent was positively associated with children's weekly frequency and total hours of PA.

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Level and determinants of PA in children
- Children exercising briskly ≥7 h a week (60 min per day)
- 23%
- Total PA occasions with a parent vs children's total weekly PA occasions, β
- 0.83 (0.20-1.47) (95% CI)
- Total PA occasions with a parent vs children's total weekly hours of PA, β
- 0.90 (0.07-1.73) (95% CI)
- Total weekly hours of brisk PA vs HbA1c: positive association, β
- 0.65 (0.02-0.13) (95% CI)
- Light PA vs HbA1c: no association, β
- 0.42 (−0.04-0.87) (95% CI)
Observational data: associations, not effects.
