Diabetes prevalence by leisure, transportation-, and occupation-based physical activity among racially/ethnically diverse U.S. adults

Diabetes Care May 30, 2019

Divney AA, et al. - In this investigation, researchers studied associations between occupational physical activity (OPA), transportation physical activity (TPA), and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA). They also examined the prevalence of diabetes and whether associations differ by race/ethnicity. The investigators used multivariable log binomial models to examine differences in the prevalence of diabetes by PA level in each domain and total PA among 3,931 Latinos, 6,079 non-Latino white individuals, and 3,659 non-Latino black individuals. According to findings, the highest prevalence of PA guidelines was reported by white individuals, followed by Latinos and non-Latino black individuals. Participants attaining PA guidelines were 19% to 32% less likely to have diabetes in adjusted models depending on the PA domain. The prevalence of diabetes among non-Latino black and Latino individuals was consistently higher vs non-Latino white individuals, but interaction outcomes revealed that the protective effect of PA was similar across the PA domain and race/ethnicity—except for TPA, where the protective effect was 4% higher among non-Latino white vs Latino individuals. In addition to LTPA, PA policies and programs can be used to reduce the prevalence of diabetes among all population groups.
