- Depressive and anxiety symptoms are prevalent among individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and factors like physical activity and social support could help mitigate these issues.
- The study assessed the links between psychological distress, self-perceived health, perceived social support, and physical activity levels in a sample of 1006 Spanish adults with diabetes, using established questionnaires for data collection.
- Results indicated that positive self-perceived health was associated with higher physical activity levels, while inactivity and limited social support correlated with poorer health and increased psychological stress.
