Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Cardiovascular Disease Research

Background:

  • Type 2 diabetes is a growing global health concern.
  • Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is a key risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
  • Atherosclerotic vascular diseases and cardiovascular events are major complications of diabetes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an intensive diet-exercise program for preventing or delaying type 2 diabetes in individuals with IGT.
  • To assess the program's impact on cardiovascular disease risk factors.
  • To examine the program's effect on the incidence of cardiovascular events.

Main Methods:

  • Randomized controlled trial involving 523 overweight subjects with IGT.
  • Intervention group received individualized dietary advice and physical activity guidance.

  • Control group received general information on healthy lifestyle choices.

    • Main Results:

    • The intervention group achieved significantly greater weight reduction (4.6 kg vs. 0.9 kg at 1 year, P < 0.0001).
    • Greater improvements in glucose levels, insulin, blood pressure, and triglycerides were observed in the intervention group.
    • Beneficial changes in cardiovascular risk factors were sustained for two years.

    Conclusions:

    • The intensive lifestyle intervention program is effective and feasible for preventing or delaying type 2 diabetes.
    • The program significantly improves multiple cardiovascular risk factors.
    • Lifestyle modifications are crucial for managing IGT and reducing diabetes risk.
