We aimed to estimate the population attributable fractions (PAF) of macrovascular complications and retinopathy in people with diabetes at the national, regional, and global levels.METHODSWe conducted a pooled analysis of population-based cohort studies and cross-sectional surveys to identify the prevalence of physical inactivity and its association with macrovascular complications and retinopathy in adults with diabetes. Diabetes-related complications included macrovascular (i.e., cardiovascular diseases, stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure) complications and retinopathy. PAFs were estimated using the adjusted relative risks, the proportion of physical inactivity in cases, and the available prevalence of physical inactivity from countries and territories worldwide.RESULTSWe pooled data from 2,374,714 adults from representative prospective cohorts and cross-sectional surveys. We included data from high-income Western Countries (n (number of studies) = 11), Latin America and Caribbean (n = 4), high-income Asia Pacific (n = 3), East and South-East Asia (n = 3), Sub-Saharan Africa (n = 3), South Asia (n = 2), and Central and Eastern Europe (n = 1). The highest PAFs were observed for stroke (10.2%; 95% uncertainty interval (UI): 5.1%-16.6%), retinopathy (9.7%; 95%UI: 4.1%-16.5%), and heart failure (7.3%; 95%UI: 3.1%- 12.5%). High-income Asia Pacific, Latin America and Caribbean, and the Central Asia, North Africa-Middle East regions showed the largest PAF to physical inactivity for macrovascular and retinopathy. The largest sex disparity was observed in retinopathy. A higher country income was associated with a higher PAF across all investigated complications. Oppositely, adults with low educational attainment showed higher PAFs for all analyzed complications, especially in cardiovascular disease and CHD.CONCLUSIONThe global burden of diabetes-related complications is significantly influenced by physical inactivity. Tailoring interventions to reduce physical inactivity in this population may contribute to mitigating the health impacts of diabetes complications.","PeriodicalId":48897,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport and Health Science","volume":"29 1","pages":"101123"},"PeriodicalIF":11.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145986262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This guideline, developed by the Chinese Society of Endocrinology, synthesizes the latest evidence and expert insights to provide evidence-based recommendations for physical activity and exercise therapy in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). It is generally recommended that all adult patients with T2D engage in at least 150<ce:bold>-</ce:bold>300 min of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week, or a minimum of 75<ce:bold>-</ce:bold>150 min of vigorous-intensity exercise, or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity exercise (with a total exercise volume of at least 450 metabolic equivalent-min per week). For patients with T2D who are capable, moderate over-exercise and a combination of different forms of exercise (aerobic, resistance, flexibility, and/or balance training) are encouraged. The guideline also underscores the necessity of targeting specific subgroups of patients with T2D, including the elderly, individuals with obesity or pre-obesity, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, and/or diabetic foot and its high-risk populations. The guideline provides a scientific basis for clinicians to develop personalized exercise guidance and recommendations, with the goal of improving the disease prognosis of the relevant population.","PeriodicalId":48897,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport and Health Science","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145956926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
