For Type 2 Diabetes, Where You Live Matters | Medpage Today
"Living in a neighborhood with resources to support exercise and with
access to healthy food was associated with a lower incidence of type 2
diabetes, found a new prospective, longitudinal study.
Researchers found that 12% of the more than 5,000 people in the study
developed diabetes within the average 8.9 years of follow-up. But
patients who lived in areas that had access to more physical activity
resources had a lower risk (hazard ratio 0.79, 95% CI 0.71-0.88), as did
those who had access to healthy foods (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.79-0.98), of
developing diabetes."
