A randomized lifestyle intervention with 5-year follow-up in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance: Pronounced short-term impact but long-term adherence problems
Aims : To compare data on cardiovascular risk factor changes in lipids , insulin , proinsulin , fibrinolysis , leptin and C-reactive protein , and on diabetes incidence , in relation to changes in lifestyle . Methods : The study was a r and omized lifestyle intervention trial conducted in northern Sweden between 1995 and 2000 , in 168 individuals with impaired glucose tolerance ( IGT ) and body mass index above 27 at start . The intensive intervention group ( n = 83 ) was subjected to a 1-month residential lifestyle programme . The usual care group ( n = 85 ) participated in a health examination ending with a single counselling session . Follow-up was conducted at 1 , 3 and 5 years . Results : At 1-year follow-up , an extensive cardio-metabolic risk factor reduction was demonstrated in the intensive intervention group , along with a 70 % decrease of progress to type 2 diabetes . At 5-year follow-up , most of these beneficial effects had disappeared . Reported physical activity and fibre intake as well as high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were still increased , and fasting insulin and proinsulin were lower . Conclusions : The intervention affected several important cardio-metabolic risk variables beneficially , and reduced the risk for type 2 diabetes , but the effects persisted only as long as the new lifestyle was maintained . Increased physical activity seemed to be the behaviour that was most easy to preserve
