Sedentary time, breaks in sedentary time and metabolic variables in people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes

Aims/hypothesis We investigated whether objectively measured sedentary time and interruptions in sedentary time are associated with metabolic factors in people with type 2 diabetes. Methods We studied 528 adults (30–80 years) with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, who were participants in a diet and...

Description
Summary:Aims/hypothesis We investigated whether objectively measured sedentary time and interruptions in sedentary time are associated with metabolic factors in people with type 2 diabetes. Methods We studied 528 adults (30–80 years) with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, who were participants in a diet and physical activity intervention. Waist circumference (WC), fasting HDL-cholesterol, insulin and glucose levels, HOMA of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and physical activity (accelerometer) were measured at baseline and at 6 months follow-up. Linear regression models were used to investigate cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of accelerometer-derived sedentary time and breaks in sedentary time (BST) with metabolic variables. Results In cross-sectional analyses each hour of sedentary time was associated with larger WC (unstandardised regression coefficient [ B ] [95% CI] 1.89 cm [0.94, 2.83]; p
