Study data link fitness to diabetes risk
Data on
46,979 patients in the Henry Ford Exercise Testing Project linked
fitness to a lower risk of diabetes. Treadmill tests were used to
measure metabolic equivalents, and the study found patients who achieved
12 or more metabolic equivalents had a 54% lower risk of diabetes
compared with those with six or fewer. The study was published in
Diabetes Care. Healio (free registration)
