A diagnosis of type 2 diabetes has many health and financial implications. Research has shown that regular, moderate physical activity can help prevent, delay or manage the condition. Data from the 2001-2002 National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES) were used to explore the relationship between physical activity and type 2 diabetes in an older adult population (ages 45 years and older). Physical activity was measured primarily as 30-day cumulative metabolic equivalent (MET) values. Once controlling for covariates through multiple regression, physical activity was still a predictor for HbA1c levels. The results support the hypothesis that HbA1c values are inversely proportional to higher levels of physical activity among subjects of all diabetes statuses (type 2 diabetes, borderline diabetes, and no diabetes).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Schelble\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3836471604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836471602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Christine Schelble","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113858937087,"sku":"9783836471602","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae690f3f-0d9f-4b9d-9f11-0fcabcf5a705.jpg?v=1769617610","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/association-between-physical-activity-and-christine-schelble-9783836471602","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
