The findings demonstrate community-based PA interventions can be effective in producing increases in PA .
Our findings can guide future PA community-based interventions  in adult population s diagnosed with TD2
Evidence suggests engaging in regular physical activity ( PA ) can have beneficial outcomes for adults with type 2 diabetes ( TD2 ) , including weight loss , reduction of medication usage and improvements in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)/fasting glucose .
While a number of clinical -based PA interventions exist , community-based approaches are limited .
Sitting time and all-cause mortality risk in 222 497 Australian adults.
BACKGROUND Prolonged sitting is considered detrimental to health , but evidence regarding the independent relationship of total sitting time with all-cause mortality is limited . This study aim ed to determine the independent relationship of sitting time with all-cause mortality . METHODS We linked prospect i ve question naire data from 222 497 individuals 45 years or older from the 45 and Up Study to mortality data from the New South Wales Registry of Births , Deaths , and Marriages ( Australia ) from February 1 , 2006 , through December 31 , 2010 . Cox proportional hazards models examined all-cause mortality in relation to sitting time , adjusting for potential confounders that included sex , age , education , urban/rural residence , physical activity , body mass index , smoking status , self-rated health , and disability . RESULTS During 621 695 person-years of follow-up ( mean follow-up , 2.8 years ) , 5405 deaths were registered . All-cause mortality hazard ratios were 1.02 ( 95 % CI , 0.95 - 1.09 ) , 1.15 ( 1.06 - 1.25 ) , and 1.40 ( 1.27 - 1.55 ) for 4 to less than 8 , 8 to less than 11 , and 11 or more h/d of sitting , respectively , compared with less than 4 h/d , adjusting for physical activity and other confounders . The population -attributable fraction for sitting was 6.9 % . The association between sitting and all-cause mortality appeared consistent across the sexes , age groups , body mass index categories , and physical activity levels and across healthy participants compared with participants with preexisting cardiovascular disease or diabetes mellitus . CONCLUSIONS Prolonged sitting is a risk factor for all-cause mortality , independent of physical activity . Public health programs should focus on reducing sitting time in addition to increasing physical activity levels
