Adopting an active lifestyle is key in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Nevertheless, the majority of individuals with T2DM fails to do so. Additionally, individuals with T2DM are likely to experience mental (e.g., stress) and somatic (e.g., pain) stressors. Research investigating the link between these stressors and activity levels within this group is largely lacking. Therefore, current research aimed to investigate how daily fluctuations in mental and somatic stressors predict daily levels of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour among adults with T2DM.
Individuals with T2DM ( = 54) were instructed to complete a morning diary assessing mental and somatic stressors and to wear an accelerometer for 10 consecutive days. The associations between the mental and somatic stressors and participants' levels of PA and sedentary behaviour were examined using (generalized) linear mixed effect models.
Valid data were provided by 38 participants. We found no evidence that intra-individual increases in mental and somatic stressors detrimentally affected participants' activity levels. Similarly, levels of sedentary behaviour nor levels of PA were predicted by inter-individual differences in the mental and somatic stressors.
采取积极的生活方式是2型糖尿病（T2DM）管理的关键。然而，大多数T2DM患者未能做到这一点。此外，T2DM患者可能会经历精神（如压力）和躯体（如疼痛）应激源。目前在很大程度上缺乏对该群体中这些应激源与活动水平之间联系的研究。因此，当前研究旨在调查精神和躯体应激源的每日波动如何预测成年T2DM患者的每日身体活动（PA）水平和久坐行为。
指示T2DM患者（n = 54）完成一份评估精神和躯体应激源的晨间日记，并连续佩戴加速度计10天。使用（广义）线性混合效应模型检查精神和躯体应激源与参与者的PA水平和久坐行为之间的关联。
38名参与者提供了有效数据。我们没有发现证据表明个体内精神和躯体应激源的增加会对参与者的活动水平产生不利影响。同样，精神和躯体应激源的个体间差异也无法预测久坐行为水平或PA水平。
