Dr. Wilma J. Nusselder from Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam has published a report in Diabetes Care that shows physical activity lengthens life and increases the number of years people live free of diabetes.
People who are physically active live longer and spend more years free of diabetes than people who are inactive.
"The effect of physical activity on life expectancy without diabetes reflects both the lower incidence of diabetes and the lower mortality of nondiabetic individuals associated with increasing physical activity," says Dr. Wilma J. Nusselder from Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and colleagues report in Diabetes Care.
"Our study suggests that if sedentary people could be stimulated to be at least moderately active, they could extend their lives and increase their life-time spent without diabetes," the team concludes.
