D and PA+D  interventions had larger effects on glucose reduction  than PA alone .
Lifestyle  interventions significantly improved FPG , HbA1c , FI , HOMA-IR , and bodyweight among adults without IGT or diabetes , and might reduce progression of hyperglycemia to type 2 diabetes mellitus
This study systematic ally assessed the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions on glycemic indicators among adults ( ⩾18years ) without IGT or diabetes .
Maintenance of cardiovascular risk factor changes among middle-aged women in a lifestyle intervention trial.
The Women 's Healthy Lifestyle Project is a 5-year r and omized clinical testing whether a behavioral intervention aim ed at lifestyle changes in diet and physical activity can prevent the rise in weight and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-c ) observed during menopause . Cardiovascular risk factor and behavioral data from 489 participants ( intervention group n = 236 ; control group n = 253 ) who attended baseline , 6-month , and 18-month clinical assessment s were analyzed to determine how well initial improvements achieved at 6 months were maintained over the subsequent year of follow-up . Results indicated that the treatment effect persisted at 18 months for weight , body mass index , total cholesterol , LDL-c , systolic blood pressure ( SBP ) , and glucose levels . Intervention participants maintained improvements in physical activity , caloric intake , dietary cholesterol , SBP , and glucose levels between 6 and 18 months , although weight , total cholesterol , and LDL-c began to rise during this period . Eighty percent of intervention participants compared to 45 % of controls were at or under baseline weight at 18 months , suggesting that promoting modest weight loss may be an effective approach to preventing weight gain in these women
