    • Abstract:
      Aims: We aimed to assess the association between retirement status and recreational physical activity (rPA) in US adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), while accounting for potential modification effects.
      Methods: We extracted data from the 2007-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We used logistic regression models to evaluate the association between self-reported retirement status and high rPA (i.e., at least 150 min/week). We reported adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). We estimated the modification effect of sex, race/ethnicity, and acculturation level by including interaction terms into the models.
      Results: Of the 992 U.S. adults with T2DM, 34.8% was retired. As a whole, retirement was associated with high rPA (aOR=1.87 [95% CI: 1.16-3.00]; P = 0.0110). Retirement was associated with high odds of rPA in females (aOR=2.07 [95% CI, 1.14, 3.73], P = 0.0171), in non-Hispanic whites (aOR=2.57 [95% CI, 1.32, 5.00], P = 0.0062), and in those with high acculturation level (aOR=1.85 [95% CI, 1.07, 3.19], P = 0.0273). We observed no significant statistical interactions.
      Conclusions: Retirement is associated with a high participation to rPA in US adults with T2DM, and the amplitude varies by sex, race/ethnicity and acculturation level. Intervention for improving rPA in adults with T2DM should collect and consider information on retirement status.
