The Claim
A higher healthy lifestyle score is associated with a consistent reduction in type 2 diabetes risk across subgroups of Korean adults defined by age, sex, family history of diabetes, hypertension status, and residential area.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People in Korea who live healthier lives—like eating well, exercising, and not smoking—are less likely to get type 2 diabetes, no matter their age, gender, family history, or where they live.
