Abstract

The article cites a study that identifies key demographic and health factors associated with physical activity (PA) participation in adults diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes recruited from the Canadian Diabetes Association of Alberta, Canada. The study uses multiple and logistic regression models to identify demographic and health factors related to PA levels, and the analyses were conducted separately for type 1 and type 2 groups. The study shows that a 63.7% of those with type 1 and 71.9% for those with type 2 diabetes were not achieving recommended PA levels.
