Moreover, in the examination of interactions by age, the association of ambulatory physical activity with IGF-1 levels was only observed in older adults with DM (age ≥ 60 years, β ± SE = 0.23 ± 0.11, p = 0.042) but not in middle-aged adults with DM (age < 60 years, β ± SE = 0.06 ± 0.13, p = 0.645). The gene discussed is IGF1; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
