People living in communities that lend themselves to walking had a significantly lower risk of developing diabetes than those living in the least walkable neighborhoods in a large new study from Canada. (via Walkable neighborhoods tied to lower diabetes risk - chicagotribune.com) “If you have fewer opportunities for physical activity in your daily life, then you may gain more weight…and you’re also more likely to develop diabetes,” said Dr. Gillian Booth, the lead author and a researcher at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. To assess whether neighborhood walkability influences the likelihood of developing diabetes, Booth and her colleagues collected information from a health registry on nearly all adults living in Ontario, focusing on the 1.2 million who did not have diabetes.
