Non-exercise estimated cardiorespiratory fitness and incident type 2 diabetes in adults
Authors' conclusion
Higher eCRF was associated with a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes in men. Further research needs to examine the association between eCRF and type 2 diabetes in women.
Study context
- Population
- Men and women without diabetes at baseline; Estimated cardiorespiratory fitness (eCRF) in metabolic equivalents (METs) from sex-specific algorithms (physical activity, smoking, age, BMI, waist circumference, resting heart rate)
- Participants
- 13,616 men
- Exposure
- Higher vs lower non-exercise estimated cardiorespiratory fitness
- Outcome
- Incident T2D (FPG ≥ 7 mmol/l, self-report or insulin use at follow-up)
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Incident T2D
Each 1-MET increase in eCRF: lower risk of incident T2D
11 %
Observational data: associations, not effects.
