Association between physical activity level and diabetes incidence among Chinese middle-aged and older adults: a cross-sectional study from the China health and retirement longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It has been shown that diabetes is associated with insufficient physical activity among middle-aged and older adults, but the association between different physical activity levels (PAL) and diabetes incidence needs to be further explored.

Objective

This study aims to explore the correlation and dose-response relationship between different PAL and the diabetes incidence in middle-aged and older adults.

Methods

Utilizing data from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), this cross-sectional analysis included 17,226 middle-aged and older adults aged 45 and above. Binary logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were used to explore the correlation and dose-response relationship between different PAL and the inciden
