This study intends to use summary genetic data from the UK Biobank and other consortiums in conjunction with the two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) approach to solve this problem. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) technique was utilized as the primary analysis, with sensitivity analyses using the MR-Egger, weighted-median, and MR-Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier (PRESSO) techniques. Inverse associations between self-reported moderate PA (OR: 0.3096, 95% CI: 0.1782-0.5380) and vigorous PA (OR: 0.2747, 95% CI: 0.1390-0.5428) with T2DM risk were found, respectively. However, accelerometer-based PA measurement (average acceleration) was not associated with T2DM risk (OR: 1.0284, 95% CI: 0.9831-1.0758). The time (hours\/day) spent watching TV was associated with T2DM risk (OR: 2.3490, 95% CI: 1.9084-2.8915), while the time (hours\/day) spent using the computer (OR: 0.8496, 95% CI: 0.7178-1.0056), and driving (OR: 3.0679, 95% CI: 0.8448-11.1415) were not associated with T2DM risk. The sensitivity analysis revealed relationships of a similar magnitude. Our study revealed that more PA and less TV viewing were related to a decreased T2DM risk, and provided genetic support for a causal relationship between PA, TV viewing, and T2DM risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fendo.2022.964132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,3]],"date-time":"2022-11-03T11:13:15Z","timestamp":1667473995000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Physical
