Participate in a Research Study on Bone Health & Exercise Behaviours in Diabetes

McGill University — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 20:02:31 +0000

The Gibbs Lab at McGill is looking for adults aged 50 and above, diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes to participate in a research study.

Participation involves one audio-recorded interview conducted via Microsoft Teams or by phone.

The study aims to identify preferences, information needs, and perceived barriers related to exercise for the management of bone health in older adults with diabetes. Adults over 50 with diabetes are often unaware of their increased risk of bone fractures, which can lead to disability, hospitalization, and significant healthcare costs.
