| Core Tip |
The role of physical activity in the context of diabetes is paramount, influencing its development, management, and overall outcome. 22.3% of adults in China did not attain the minimum recommended level of physical activity outlined by the World Health Organization in 2018. Research has indicated that individuals' inability to engage in and maintain regular physical activity is partly attributable to a psychological inclination favoring immediate rewards over delayed, more substantial ones. Delay discounting, a concept rooted in behavioral economics. No investigations have been conducted on the correlation between delay discounting, delay aversion, and health-related aspects, such as physical activity, especially among Chinese adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, we found that elevated delay discounting and increased delay aversion correlated with reduced levels of moderate physical activity. |
