The aims of this study therefore were to target Pakistani immigrant men living in Oslo and (1) to use a participatory approach to identify SCT influences and strategies to develop an intervention to increase PA, (2) to examine the efficacy of the intervention in increasing PA using a randomised controlled design, and (3) to examine whether increasing PA would be associated with reduced plasma glucose and insulin concentrations, thereby potentially lowering the risk of T2D. Here, INS is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
