The Likely Underestimated Impact of Lifestyle Intervention: Diabetes Prevention Program Translation Examples.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Lifestyle interventions promoting weight loss and physical activity are important elements of prevention efforts with the evaluation of program impact typically limited to weight loss. Unfortunately, diabetes/cardiovascular disease risk factors and activity are infrequently reported and inconsistent in findings when examined. This inconsistency may partially be due to a lack of consideration for ceiling effects because of broad risk profile inclusion criteria in community translation efforts. To demonstrate this, change in each individual cardiometabolic risk factor limited to those who, at baseline, had a clinically defined abnormal value for that risk factor was examined in 2 cohorts using identical community translations of the Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle
