NCT ID NCT03898206
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether taking short, regular walks during long periods of sitting can lower blood sugar and cholesterol after meals—key risk factors for Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Researchers compared the effects in normal-weight and overweight/obese South Asian adults, a group with higher risk for these conditions. The goal was to see if this simple activity change could help reduce disease risk.
