NCT ID NCT06283849
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study worked with Black adults aged 55 and older who have type 2 diabetes to understand why they sit for long periods and how to help them sit less. Researchers used interviews and activity monitors to learn about the social and personal factors that lead to prolonged sitting. The goal was to design practical strategies to break up sitting time and improve heart health and blood sugar control.
