Details

Purpose:
To explore 24-hour movement behaviors (24h-MBs), cardiometabolic health, and behavioral correlates among adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and prediabetes.

Rationale:
T2DM is a worldwide healthcare concern. Sedentary lifestyles and the obesity epidemic contribute to the increase of this disease. Worldwide, 462 million adults are having T2DM and 350 million adults are diagnosed with prediabetes. Knowing that 70 percent of adults with prediabetes will develop T2DM later in life, makes disease management and prevention extremely important. Adopting a healthy lifestyle can tackle many aspects of disease progression. However, recent literature suggests to incorporate all behaviors we conduct throughout a 24-hour day instead of focusing on e.g. physical activity (PA) in isolation. This is the so-called 24h-MBs perspective (including PA, sedentary behavior (SB), sleep), which is a novel approach in health promotion research but understudied in adults with prediabetes and T2DM.

Objectives:
1. To explore 24h-MBs among patients with T2DM and prediabetes and study whether results are different according to weight status;
2. To explore associations between the 24h-MBs and cardiometabolic parameters as well as the personal, and environmental correlates explaining the 24h-MBs;
3. To provoke discussion on disease-specific needs within the 24h-MBs perspective and how to link this with existing guidelines.

Summary:
First, results of a systematic review on correlates of 24h-MBs among adults with T2DM will be discussed. Second, the 24h-MBs composition of adults with T2DM will be compared according to weight status as well as associations with adults cardiometabolic health. Reallocations of time into more optimal 24h-MBs compositions seemed beneficial for health. Finally, the associations of PA and SB with cardiometabolic risk factors in people with T2DM and prediabetes with two time-use approaches will be illustrated. Sufficient time in moderate-to-vigorous PA are the most important features of time-use behaviors in T2DM and prediabetes.

Format:
Marieke De Craemer will introduce the symposium (10').
