Résumé
Introduction
Diabetes represents a major health burden both for individuals and society as a whole, in terms of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. This study aimed to explore how physical activity and sedentary behaviors were associated with self-reported health in both individuals with diabetes and individuals from the general population.
Research Design and Methods
Cross-sectional analyses were conducted using data from the 2019 follow-up survey of a Swiss cohort of non-institutionalized adults with diabetes (CoDiab-VD), and from the 2017 Swiss Health Survey (SHS). Whereas self-reported health was the main outcome, physical activity and sedentary behaviors measures were the main exposure variables. To explore the association between exposure and outcome variables, crude and adjusted ordinal logistic regressions were performed, both for individuals with diabetes and the general population.
Results
CoDiab-VD’s population was the oldest, individuals with diabetes in the SHS had the lowest educational status and the entire SHS had the lowest number of reported comorbidities. Individuals with diabetes were less active and more sedentary than those of the general population. Whereas a significant association between higher physical activity levels and better self-reported health was reported, a more sedentary behavior, defined by sitting time, seemed to be correlated with poorer self-reported health both in the case of diabetes and in the general population. No interaction between physical activity and sedentary behaviors was found.
Conclusion
Physical activity is strongly associated with better self-reported health and sedentary behaviors tend to be negatively associated with it, both in a dose-response manner. Sedentary behaviors should be thought about when planning lifestyle interventions, as their effect on self-reported health was independent of physical activity. Self-reported data on physical activity and sedentary behaviors are needed at population levels, to inform public health and policy stakeholders and not only help the individuals regarding their health, but also alleviate diabetes’ burden on society.
