“…Longitudinal studies have already demonstrated the importance of adequate health-related behaviors to reduce mortality and complications from noncommunicable diseases (17). The low prevalence of physical activity among people with diabetes identified in our study aligns people with diabetes in Brazil to those living in countries such as the United States (18) and Portugal (19). The benefits of physical activity in the prevention or management of diabetes are already well established (20), reducing mortality and complications through better glycemic control and improved insulin sensitivity.…”

However, in the study of Barsaglini (2011), physical activities were regarded as limiting due to matters such as financial resources, time, physical limitations, old age, disbelief in their effects, lack of companionship, substitution for domestic activities and discomfort.…”
