AI Article Synopsis

  • The rise in diabetes cases is being driven not only by overeating and obesity but also by a lack of physical activity.
  • Studies suggest that physical inactivity could be just as significant as being overweight when it comes to developing diabetes.
  • The reviews in this issue focus on how physical activity can help in both preventing and managing diabetes.

Article Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes is increasing rapidly. Overeating, leading to obesity and overweight, is often considered the main determinant of this increase. However, evidence is accumulating that physical inactivity may be as important a factor in the development of diabetes as being overweight. The reviews in this issue of Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism discuss the current knowledge on the role of physical activity in the prevention and treatment of diabetes.

Objective: This ancillary study's purpose is to describe the relationship between dose of treatment and body mass index (BMI) outcomes in a tele-behavioral health program delivered in the IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network to children and their families living in rural communities.

Methods: Participants randomized to the intervention were able to receive 26 contact hours (15 hr of group sessions and 11 hr of individual sessions) of material focused on nutrition, physical activity, and behavioral caregiver training delivered via interactive televideo. Dose of the intervention received by child/caregiver dyads (n = 52) from rural areas was measured as contact hours.

The scope of this article is to analyze the temporal trend and macro-regional distribution of the options on offer in terms of collective activities of bodily practices and physical activities (BPPA) and the number of participants in primary health care, developed by all health professionals and by Physical Education Professionals in Brazil. It involved an ecological time-series study, using data from the Health Information System for Primary Health Care (Sisab) between 2014 and 2022, which was assessed using regression analysis and Joinpoint software. At the national level, the results revealed an increase in the number of collective BPPA activities and participants in primary health care developed by all health professionals and by Physical Education Professionals between 2014 and 2019, followed by a reduction in both in 2020.
