However, it is first important to assess physical activity in healthy older adults. This study quantifies physical functioning with physical activity parameters and assesses those parameters in community-dwelling older adults.

Design: DIAbetes and LifEstyle Cohort Twente (DIALECT), an observational cohort study.
Setting: Secondary care in the Netherlands.
Background: Games are increasingly used in eHealth as a strategy for user engagement. There is an enormous diversity of end users and objectives targeted by eHealth. Hence, identifying game content that drives and sustains engagement is challenging.

Background/objectives: Traditional glycemic monitoring in type 2 diabetes is limited, whereas continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) offers better insights into glucose fluctuations. This study aimed to determine the correlations and relative contributions of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) levels to hyperglycemia.
Methods: We utilized CGM and recorded carbohydrate intake data from lifestyle diaries of 59 patients enrolled in the Diabetes and Lifestyle Cohort Twente (DIALECT-2).
