Physical Inactivity Linked to Heart Risks in Diabetics

A global study has found that more than 13% of heart failure cases in people with diabetes in India may be caused by physical inactivity.

The research, published in the Journal of Sport and Health Science, also shows that about 9.6% of coronary heart disease cases and 9.4% of other cardiovascular complications among Indians with diabetes could be linked to not being physically active.

The study highlights the importance of regular exercise and movement for people living with diabetes. Experts say staying active can help reduce the risk of heart-related problems and improve overall health.

This research underlines that physical activity is a key factor in managing diabetes and preventing serious heart conditions. Health professionals encourage people to include walking, cycling, or other forms of exercise in their daily routine to lower these risks.
