Hypothesis
This study aimed to quantify the global and regional burden of T2DM attributable to low physical activity from 1990 to 2021.
Conclusion
Between 1990 and 2021, there was a marked rise in the global burden of T2DM associated with low physical activity.
Supporting Evidence
- DALYs and mortality of T2DM attributable to low physical activity increased rapidly from 1990 to 2021.
- Low-middle SDI countries have the highest age-standardized disability-adjusted life years and mortality rates.
- A negative correlation existed between sociodemographic index and both age-standardized mortality and disability-adjusted life years.
Takeaway
Not moving around enough can make a lot of people sick with diabetes, and this study shows that it's getting worse over time.
Methodology
The study utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021, assessing disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), mortality, and age-standardized rates across different demographics.
Limitations
Some data relied on estimates, and the study did not account for comorbidities or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Participant Demographics
The study examined data across different ages, genders, and sociodemographic indices.
