A Singapore study examined the association between domain-specific physical activity (e.g. work, transport and leisure) and sedentary behaviour, with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension.
Higher leisure-related physical activity was associated with lower odds of T2DM and hypertension. Higher sedentary time was associated with higher odds of hypertension. Lifestyle modifications can reduce the risk of T2DM and hypertension.

The rapidly ageing population and enlarging burden of chronic diseases require a proportionate emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention. A health system that is more data-driven and patient-centric, which leverages the innovative use of technology and digital solutions, will be areas warranting research attention and coverage. The Annals invites submission of manuscripts that advance the scientific basis of clinical knowledge, and the practice of medicine in Singapore and internationally. We welcome submissions that address challenges in the management of chronic diseases (e.g. cancer, cardiovascular diseases, ageing, diabetes mellitus and neurological diseases), and use of technology and digital medicine to improve patient care.
Papers of sufficient merits will be published. Authors will also be notified if their manuscripts are deemed not suitable for publication.
