The Claim
In older adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes, higher attendance in a 3-month intensive lifestyle intervention program is associated with greater improvements in chair stand performance and self-reported physical activity levels at 6 months post-intervention, with a 20% increase in attendance linked to a 1.2-second greater improvement in chair stand time.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If older adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes go to more of their exercise program sessions, they’re likely to get better at getting up from a chair and feel more active even six months later — going to 20% more sessions means about 1.2 seconds faster on the chair test.
