These new findings, from a prospective study with long-term follow-up of 475,502 adults with 18,619 type 2 diabetes cases, represent strong evidence pointing to causality in the relationships of sedentary behavior with the development of type 2 diabetes. To this end, the study by Li et al. has strengths of method and analytical approach, employing measures of both physical activity and sedentary behavior as exposures, and examining their interrelationships as predictors of the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes over an 11-year median follow-up interval.
