Sumario:WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Current literature underscores the significance of appropriate physical activity in managing diabetes, primarily utilizing self-reported data. Yet, the impact of objectively measured physical activity in older diabetic populations remains unclear. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? Our research on elderly diabetic patients indicated a correlation between an increased number of daily steps and improved metabolic profiles, as well as a decrease in the incidence of cardiovascular complications. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? Elevated daily step counts may confer significant benefits to elderly individuals with diabetes. The use of devices to monitor these steps could serve as a potent cardiovascular marker, and hold great potential as a screening or intervention tool in community-oriented settings.
