To analyze the long-term associations of resistance training with the incidence of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and to evaluate joint associations with adiposity and other activity and sedentary behaviors.
Approach:
Key Findings:
Resistance training is inversely associated with the risk of developing T2D.
This study is one of the few to evaluate resistance training alongside aerobic activity and sedentary behavior.
Repeated assessments were utilized to model dynamic patterns of resistance training across midlife.
Interpretation:
The study aims to enhance understanding of the relationship between resistance training and T2D risk in the context of other lifestyle factors.
Limitations:
The study may be subject to biases inherent in self-reported data.
Potential confounding factors related to adiposity were not included in the primary multivariable model.
Conclusion:
This study provides insights into the long-term associations of resistance training with T2D risk.
