Global, regional, and national burden of major diabetes-related complications attributable to physical inactivity (IMAGE)
Caption
A new global study finds that physical inactivity is a major, preventable driver of serious diabetes complications worldwide. Analyzing data from more than 2.3 million adults with diabetes, researchers estimate that up to 10% of strokes, diabetic retinopathy, and heart failure cases could be avoided if recommended physical activity levels were met. The burden was disproportionately higher among women, people with lower educational attainment, and in several high- and middle-income regions.
