The Claim
Adults without metabolic syndrome engage in 36 to 45 more minutes of moderate physical activity per day than adults with metabolic syndrome, as measured across work, leisure, and transportation activities in a U.S. adult population sampled from 2007–2010 NHANES.
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.
Adults without metabolic syndrome report 36 to 45 more minutes of moderate physical activity each day than adults with metabolic syndrome, based on activity tracked across work, leisure, and transportation in a U.S. national survey from 2007 to 2010.
See the scientific wording
Adults without metabolic syndrome engage in approximately 36 to 45 more minutes of moderate physical activity per day than those with metabolic syndrome, as measured across work, leisure, and transportation activities in a U.S. adult population sampled from 2007–2010 NHANES, suggesting a consistent association between higher physical activity levels and absence of metabolic syndrome.
When people move more, their muscles use more sugar and fat for energy, which makes the body better at responding to insulin and clearing fat from the blood. This prevents fat from building up in the liver and around organs, which lowers inflammation and keeps metabolism working normally.
What the research says
1 studyPeople without metabolic syndrome were found to move more each day—about 36 to 45 extra minutes of walking or cycling—than those with metabolic syndrome, and this was measured in a large U.S. health survey.
