Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity and Cerebral Small Vessel Disease in Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study
Key Points
To examine the relationship between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and cerebral small vessel disease severity in older adults with type 2 diabetes.
Cross-sectional study design
Population includes older adults with type 2 diabetes
Assessment of physical activity levels
Evaluation of SVD severity
Higher levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity correlate with lower SVD severity
Participants engaging in more MVPA show significantly reduced signs of SVD.
Abstract
Engaging in MVPA is associated with lower SVD severity in older adults with type 2 diabetes.
