Bicycle Assembly
"Question
Is cycling associated with risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality among persons with diabetes?
Findings
In this cohort study of 7459 persons with diabetes, cycling was associated with at least a 24% lower all-cause mortality rate when compared with noncyclists, independent of other physical activity and putative confounders. Taking up cycling over a 5-year period was associated with at least a 35% lower risk of all-cause mortality when compared with consistent noncyclists.
Meaning
Cycling could be encouraged as an activity for persons with diabetes to lower the risk of premature mortality.." (Larsen et al., n.d.)
