Similar effects also appeared in SBP and DBP categories regardless of follow-up duration .
PA+D interventions had larger improvement effects on CVD risk factors than PA alone interventions .
In adults without IGT or diabetes , lifestyle interventions result ed in significant improvements in SBP , DBP , TC , LDL-C , HDL-C , and TG , and might further reduce CVD risk
Structured lifestyle interventions can reduce diabetes incidence and cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) risk among persons with impaired glucose tolerance ( IGT ) , but it is unclear whether they should be implemented among persons without IGT .
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses to assess the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions on CVD risk among adults without IGT or diabetes .
Comparison of Commercial and Self-Initiated Weight Loss Programs in People With Prediabetes: A Randomized Control Trial.
OBJECTIVES To determine if a widely available weight-management program ( Weight Watchers ) could achieve sufficient weight loss in persons with prediabetes compared with a Diabetes Prevention Program-based individual counseling program supported by National Diabetes Education Program material s. METHODS We conducted an individual , r and omized intervention trial in Indianapolis , Indiana , in 2013 to 2014 , in 225 persons with prediabetes . We compared the Weight Watchers weight-management program ( n = 112 ) with Your Game Plan to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes , a program developed by the National Diabetes Education Program . Outcomes were weight and metabolic markers measured at baseline , 6 months , and 12 months . RESULTS Intervention participants lost significantly more weight than controls at 6 months ( 5.5 % vs 0.8 % ) and 12 months ( 5.5 % vs 0.2 % ; both P < .001 ) . The intervention group also had significantly greater improvements in hemoglobin A1c and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level than did controls . CONCLUSIONS A large weight-management program is effective for achieving lifestyle changes associated with diabetes prevention . Such programs could significantly increase the availability of diabetes prevention programs worldwide making an immediate and significant public health impact
