Energy balance
Participants in the intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) engaged in significantly more bout-related moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) compared to the Diabetes Support and Education (DSE) group at year 1 (151.0 ± 213.5 vs 87.5 ± 145.1 min·wk, P < 0.0001) and year 4 (102.9 ± 195.6 vs 73.9 ± 267.5 min·wk, P < 0.001).
Implementing intensive lifestyle interventions can significantly increase physical activity levels in older adults with type 2 diabetes.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
bout-related MVPA was significantly greater in ILI compared with DSE at year 1 (151.0 ± 213.5 vs 87.5 ± 145.1 min·wk, P < 0.0001) and year 4 (102.9 ± 195.6 vs 73.9 ± 267.5 min·wk, P < 0.001)
Why this rating
Based on a large randomized controlled trial.
