Summary: This study aimed to describe the relationships between physical activity, body composition, and multimorbidity over 10 years in older adults. The results showed a nonlinear relationship between physical activity level and multimorbidity, with lower risk associated with less steps per day, as well as linear associations between higher BMI, fat mass, lower grip strength, and lean mass with higher risk of multimorbidity. Maintaining adequate physical activity levels and muscle function while reducing adiposity may help minimize the risk of multimorbidity in older adults.

Summary: Most individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) fail to meet physical activity recommendations, but those who do have healthier cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk profiles. Patients with T1DM may overestimate their physical activity levels and require support and education to safely increase activity levels.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations between physical activity level and income and environmental factors among Chinese adults. The results showed that income and environmental factors have a positive impact on residents' participation in physical activities. Government and society should provide public goods and improve living conditions to promote physical activity participation.

Summary: Glucose and unstructured physical activity in young adults with type 1 diabetes were found to be closely linked during sleep and wake, with circadian variations. Further research is needed to understand the impact of glucose fluctuations on sleep and optimize meal and insulin timing.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the association between physical factors and inflammaging in physically active older women. The results showed that physical activity was correlated with body fat, muscle mass, and inflammatory cytokine concentrations. The eutrophic group showed higher levels of physical activity and lower body fat, while the overweight and obese groups showed the opposite. This suggests that regular moderate-intensity physical exercise can mitigate inflammaging.

Summary: This study aims to accurately predict the glycemic response of individuals with type 1 diabetes during physical activity by developing a physiologically plausible model. The research found that a model incorporating endogenous glucose production, glucose transfer, and insulin-independent glucose utilization can better simulate the glycemic responses to physical activity.

Summary: This cross-sectional study found that individuals who underwent bariatric surgery had improved physical activity and eating behaviors compared to those eligible for surgery, but the improvements were still suboptimal. Efforts are needed to incorporate physical activity and a healthy diet into postbariatric care.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on physical activity patterns and glycemic control in Qatari adults with type 1 diabetes. It found that the unvaccinated group had higher weight, BMI, and HbA1c levels compared to the vaccinated group, and they also engaged in less moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week and had less time in vigorous physical activity. Vaccination was significantly associated with higher levels of physical activity.

Summary: This study found that a positive mindset is crucial in deciding a behavioral change towards an active lifestyle in people with type 2 diabetes. The pros of decisional balance, others' expectations, and psychological condition were constructs that directly affected physical activity, while other constructs had a significant indirect relationship with the amount of physical activity.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of physical activity and nutrition-based interventions on children with type 1 diabetes. The findings showed that physical activity and nutrition-based interventions did not have a significant impact on glycemic control. However, the results highlighted the potential of these interventions in improving glycemic control and health-related quality of life.

Summary: This study aims to explore the behavior change in physical activity among older adults and identify factors associated with its worsening. The results indicate that older adults with larger hip circumference, lower body strength, and lower aerobic endurance are more likely to drop out of long-term physical activity.

Summary: The study found that there is a large variance in the physical activity levels among adults living in refugee camps, with nearly half being insufficiently physically active. Despite this, the majority of Sahrawi refugees express a positive attitude towards engaging in physical activity. The low-cost approach of physical activity is recommended to reduce deaths and noncommunicable diseases in this population.

Summary: The study found that participants with self-determined motivation profiles generally reported the highest total PA minutes per week, and behavior regulation profiles may need to be considered in PA interventions using activity trackers.
