Overview

Cross-sectional analysis links social factors to daily step count in young adults with and without prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, suggesting important implications for health interventions.

Key Points

  • This study aims to explore the relationship between social determinants of health (SDOH) and daily step count in young adults with and without prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
  • Cross-sectional secondary analysis using data from the All of Us Research Program involving 2407 participants aged 18-34 years
  • Assessments included employment status, income, education, and health care discrimination among others
  • Multivariable linear regression was used to determine associations between average daily steps and various SDOH.
  • Participants averaged 7413 daily steps; those with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes averaged 6619 steps compared to 7468 steps for those without.
  • Higher employment, lower health care discrimination, lower loneliness, and greater neighborhood social cohesion were all significantly associated with increased daily steps (all P ≤ .001).
  • Surprisingly, lower neighborhood disorder and having some college education were associated with fewer daily steps.
