Replacing sedentary time with sleep and physical activity: associations with physical function and wellbeing in Type 2 diabetes

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

In adults with T2DM, theoretically replacing SB with sleep and physical activity, particularly MVPA is beneficially associated with markers of physical function and wellbeing. For wellbeing, associations for sleep were comparable (depression), or greater (diabetes distress), than for MVPA.

Study context

Population
Adults with T2D
Participants
808 adults
Exposure
Reallocating sedentary behaviour (SB) to sleep, light physical activity (LPA) or moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)
Outcome
Physical function and wellbeing per 30 min SB reallocated
Methodological detailsisotemporal substitution, accelerometry
  • Isotemporal substitution
  • Accelerometry
