Title of project:
Physical activity and prediabetes in adolescents and young adults
Proposal summary:
This proposed project is to examine whether inactive youth are more likely to have prediabetes in adolescents and young adults.
Impact of research:
A recent U.S. surveillance data revealed that 18% of adolescents and 24 % of young adults are pre-diabetic, which is alarming in public health. The likely impact of this research will be to provide direct evidence to support that an active lifestyle can prevent prediabetes in youth and young adults.
