Long-term non-pharmacological weight loss interventions for adults with prediabetes
Prediabetes is an important risk factor for the development of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and non-pharmacological interventions tend to be popular for decreasing this risk. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of dietary, physical activity, and behavioural weight loss, and weight control interventions for adults with prediabetes. The study found the following:
- Weight loss strategies using dietary, physical activity, or behavioural interventions produced significant improvements in weight among persons with prediabetes.
- These interventions also produced a significant decrease in diabetes incidence.
