Association Between Leisure Time Physical Activity and Insulin Resistance: Analysis of NHANES 2007-2018.

Key Points

The aim is to analyze the relationship between leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and insulin resistance (IR) risk.
Analyzed data from NHANES 2007-2018.
Examined the overall association and non-linear dose-response relationship.
Identified LTPA levels associated with optimal insulin sensitivity.
Significant overall association between LTPA and IR risk (P-overall <0.001).
Non-linear dose-response pattern with benefits plateauing at 450 min/week (P-non-linear = 0.022).
Regular LTPA of 300-450 min/week identified as optimal for preventing insulin resistance.

Abstract

= 0.950). A significant overall association was observed between LTPA and IR risk (P-overall <0.001), with a non-linear dose-response pattern (P-non-linear = 0.022), with benefits plateauing at 450 min/week. Regular LTPA of 300-450 min/week may be optimal for preventing insulin resistance. These findings highlight the importance of engaging in regular LTPA for 300-450 min/week to maintain insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of diabetes.
