High sedentary time is a convincing risk factor for increased Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) incidence.
Reducing your sedentary time is a highly effective strategy to reduce your risk of Type 2 Diabetes. The evidence is very strong: people who spend more time being sedentary have a significantly higher risk of developing the disease. Try to incorporate more movement into your daily routine, even if you already exercise.
Increased sedentary time... presented convincing evidence for increased risk of T2DM.
Why this rating
Graded as 'convincing' based on >1,000 cases, P < 10^-6, no large heterogeneity, and 95% PI excluding null.
