Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of Infection in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Compared With the General Population: A Matched Cohort Study.
TL;DR: People with diabetes, particularly T1DM, are at increased risk of serious infection, representing an important population burden and strategies that reduce the risk of developing severe infections and poor treatment outcomes are under-researched.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycemic Control and Risk of Infections Among People With Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes in a Large Primary Care Cohort Study.
TL;DR: Poor glycemic control is powerfully associated with serious infections and should be a high priority after adjustment for duration and other confounders.
Journal ArticleDOI
What factors are associated with physical activity in older people, assessed objectively by accelerometry?
TL;DR: PA levels in older people are well below recommended levels, emphasising the need to increase PA in this age group, particularly in those who are overweight/obese or have diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diabetes and infection: assessing the association with glycaemic control in population-based studies.
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that better glycaemic control might reduce infection risk, but further longitudinal studies with more frequent measures of HbA1c are needed, and robust evidence from cohorts with sufficient numbers of older people would help to develop clinically relevant guidelines and targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of questionnaire, accelerometer, and pedometer: measures in older people.
TL;DR: Objective measures had better construct validity, being more strongly associated with established PA determinants, and thus offered better value to researchers than the questionnaire, but the latter provided useful detail on activity type, so a combined approach to PA assessment may be preferable.
