Among living donor liver transplant recipients, reducing sedentary behavior and increasing physical activity may lower the risk of developing post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM), a condition that can impair long-term health outcomes. Encouraging regular movement and limiting prolonged sitting could be practical strategies to help prevent PTDM, complementing medical management and screening efforts in this high-risk group. This highlights the importance of an active lifestyle after liver transplantation to support metabolic health.
