Lower Physical Activity Is Associated With Higher Intermuscular Adipose Tissue in People With Type 2 Diabetes and Peripheral Neuropathy

Abstract

Average daily step count was inversely related to IMAT, and IMAT was inversely related to muscle performance and overall physical function. In addition, we found that people with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy and without severe foot deformity appear to be able to take a large number of steps per day.
