He Y, Shi L. Anthropometric indicators and cardiovascular diseases risk in pre-diabetic and diabetic adults: NHANES 1999-2018 cross-sectional analysis. Exp Gerontol 2024; 194:112516. [PMID: 38977206 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2024.112516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Since cardiovascular disease (CVD) stands as the primary cause of death in those with diabetes, and given the substantial influence of obesity as a common risk factor for both diabetes and atherosclerotic conditions, this investigation sought to find the relationship between anthropometric indicators and CVD risk within these populations. METHODS Our study examined 36,329 adults, including those with diagnosed diabetes, pre-diabetes, and without diabetes from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data spanning 1999 to 2018. Various anthropometric indicators such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, weight-adjusted waist index (WWI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), weight, and height were assessed. Baseline characteristics were compared among the three groups after weighting. Participants were then grouped based on anthropometric indicators, and logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between these indicators and CVD risk in the total diabetes group (including diabetic and pre-diabetic individuals). Threshold effect analysis was conducted to explore nonlinear relationships, and mediation analyses assessed whether serum parameters influenced these relationships. RESULTS This cross-sectional study involved 36,329 participants, weighted to a count of approximately 160.9 million, including over 45.9 million pre-diabetic individuals and around 16.6 million diabetic individuals. Baseline analysis showed significant associations between all six anthropometric indicators and CVD risk across patients with different diabetes statuses. Weighted restricted cubic spline (RCS) curve analysis highlighted increased CVD risk among the total diabetes group for each anthropometric indicator compared to the non-diabetic group. Anthropometric indicators were then divided into quartiles, and after adjusting for confounders, Model 3 revealed that the highest BMI group had a heightened risk of CVD compared to the lowest BMI group. Similar trends were observed in the WWI and WHtR subgroups. Threshold effect analysis of anthropometric indicators unveiled nonlinear associations between waist circumference, height, WWI and CVD risk. Mediation analysis suggested that lipid parameters, especially HDL, significantly mediated these relationships. CONCLUSION In individuals with diabetes and pre-diabetes, BMI, weight, and WHtR displayed a consistent, linear increase correlation with CVD risk. Conversely, the link between waist circumference, height, and WWI and CVD risk showcased a more complex, nonlinear pattern. Moreover, HDL level emerged as notable mediator in the association between anthropometric indicators and the risk of CVD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Latin America. STUDY DESIGN An ecological study design was applied. METHODS The data on T2DM (i.e. incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years [DALYs], years lived with disability [YLDs] and years of life lost [YLLs]) were extracted from the Global Burden Disease 2019 study. To assess the trends, the average annual percentage change was computed using the joinpoint regression analysis. RESULTS Approximately 2.3 million new cases of T2DM were diagnosed in Latin America in 2019, with about 214,000 deaths. The age-standardised rates of T2DM burden in 2019 were highest in Central Latin America. Incidence of T2DM has increased in both males and females in Latin America over the last three decades, while mortality has increased only in males. Of particular concern are the significant increasing trends in the incidence of T2DM among individuals in the young age and middle age groups (15-64 years) in both men and in women. Increasing trends in the burden of T2DM were observed in almost all countries of Andean Latin America, the Caribbean and Central Latin America (in particular, in Guatemala, where T2DM incidence increased by 2.4% per year, mortality by 3.7%, DALYs by 3.4%, YLDs by 2.7% and YLLs by 3.8%). CONCLUSIONS T2DM is an important health issue in Latin America due to the high mortality and disability burdens and the impact on life expectancy and quality of life of the population. Unfavourable trends in T2DM burden highlight the need to introduce effective public health disease management strategies.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a major metabolic disease that seriously endangers life and health, but women with gestational diabetes mellitus are at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of postpartum lifestyle intervention on the prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the effect of lifestyle intervention on glycemic outcomes and anthropometric measures. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed and other databases to retrieve articles published before May 21, 2023, on randomized controlled trials of postnatal lifestyle interventions (diet and/or physical activity) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus. We estimated the pooled odds ratios using fixed or random effects models and conducted a subgroup analysis of the different intervention methods to explore differences in the different lifestyle interventions. RESULTS The review included 17 randomized controlled trials. Overall, lifestyle changes started after a pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus an 11% (RR = 0.89; 95% CI: 0.74-1.07) reduction in diabetes risk; significant differences were found for weight (MD = -1.33; 95% CI: [-1.76; -0.89], P < 0.00001) body mass index (MD = -0.53; 95% CI: [-0.74, -0.32], P < 0.00001), and waist circumference change (MD = -1.38; 95% CI: [-2.12; -0.64], P = 0.0002) but not for fasting glucose (MD = -0.06; 95% CI: [-0.19; 0.06], P = 0.32), 2 h glucose (MD = -0.12; 95% CI: [-0.30; 0.06], P = 0.19), and hemoglobin A1c (MD = -0.11; 95% CI: [-0.23; 0.02], P = 0.09). Subgroup analyses showed no significant differences in the effects of different lifestyle interventions on the incidence of type 2 diabetes, blood glucose levels, and anthropometric parameters. CONCLUSION Our comprehensive meta-analysis of lifestyle interventions can improve modifiable anthropometric measures in women with gestational diabetes. We need further research to provide more intensive lifestyle intervention, more scientific intervention methods, and to reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes in patients with gestational diabetes.

[PMID: 38810932 DOI: 10.1016/j.cct.2024.107582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
Latina women have a high prevalence of obesity and obesity-related chronic diseases, such as diabetes. Approximately half of Latinas with obesity will also experience food insecurity, or a lack of access to enough food for an active and healthy life. Food insecurity is a barrier for effective prevention and management of obesity-related chronic diseases. The goal of this type 1 hybrid comparative effectiveness trial is to compare a culturally-tailored diabetes prevention intervention with and without medically supportive groceries. Adult Latina women (n = 412) with obesity (Body Mass Index (BMI) of >30 kg/m2) and food insecurity will be 1:1 randomized to the Vida Sana intervention (control), or to Vida Sana y Completa (intervention plus integrated treatment for food insecurity). Vida Sana is an evidence-based culturally tailored, 12-month diabetes prevention intervention that targets at least 5% weight loss and at least 150 min/week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Participants enrolled in Vida Sana y Completa will also receive 12 weekly deliveries of medically supportive groceries. Those in Vida Sana alone will receive information on local food resources. Participants will be assessed at baseline and every 6 months for 24 months. The primary outcome is weight loss at 12 months. Secondary outcomes include weight loss maintenance, diet quality, and quality of life. Barriers and facilitators of implementation will be assessed using mixed methods according to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. This study will provide critical evidence for addressing the combination of obesity and food insecurity in primary care for diabetes prevention. Trial Registration: NCT052111.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The rise of digital health applications utilizing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) allows for novel assessments of glucose management and weight changes in people without diabetes. The Signos System incorporates a digital health app paired with a CGM to provide information and prompts aimed to help people without diabetes to manage weight. OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this study was to determine whether the average timing of the latest chronological glucose excursion ("spike") was correlated with amount of weight loss. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively obtained glucose and weight data from people without diabetes who enrolled in the Signos System from November 2021 to August 2023. Participants were provided CGMs as well as encouraged to use the Signos app with personalized advice and logging capabilities for weight, food, physical activity, heart rate, sleep, and activities. "Latest Spike Time" was retrospectively derived from CGM data and compared to weight changes at six months. RESULTS Nine hundred and twenty-six subjects met the inclusion criteria including sufficient days wearing a CGM and a weight log within fifteen days of six months from their first weight log. There was a strong correlation between an earlier spike time and increased weight loss. The top quintile of subjects, with an average latest spike time before 5:41 PM, lost over three times as much weight as the bottom quintile of users, with latest spike time after 8:40 PM; this separation was predictable within one month of data. CONCLUSION In a large population of obese people without diabetes, continuous glucose data, specifically a novel metric "Latest Spike Time," was highly correlated with percentage of total body weight loss at six months. This research suggests that for people attempting weight loss, review and alteration of behaviors relating to later glucose excursions may be of specific benefit.

Abstract
This study examined the long-term effects of a lifestyle modification program delivered at German Bundesliga football clubs. Weekly 90-minute group sessions over 12 weeks combined health education and physical activity and were delivered by coaches affiliated with the football clubs. A total of 371 men (mean age 49.7 years [SD = 7.6]) attended 41 classes at 19 clubs in 2017 and 2018 and participated in the long-term follow-up. Primary outcome was weight-loss at follow-up with a mean observation period of 20.4 months after baseline. Measures were taken partly by research staff and partly by participants themselves. At baseline, the men had a mean weight of 111.3 kg (SD = 16.9). Three months after baseline (posttest), the men had lost a mean of 6.3 kg (95% CI: 5.7-6.9). From posttest to follow-up, growth curve model showed men lost an average of 0.8 kg (95% CI: 0.2-1.4). Weight regain from posttest to follow-up of at least 3% was observed in 75 participants (20.2%) and was associated with less improvement in vegetable consumption in an adjusted logistic regression model. The data suggest that participation in a male-only lifestyle modification program offered by German football clubs may lead to sustained weight loss, but lack of a randomized control group and drop-outs prevent generalization of the results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to analyze the risk factors associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) among Brazilian adults. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS Data of 75,860 Brazilian adults (≥18 years) were collected using the Surveillance System for Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (Vigitel) (2020-2023). Variables assessed included self-reported medical diagnosis of DM, sociodemographic factors (sex, age, schooling, marital status) and DM risk factors (regular consumption of sweetened beverages (≥5 times/week), infrequent consumption of fruits and vegetables, and beans (<5 times/week), insufficient physical activity, prolonged screen time on cell phones, computers, tablets (CCT), and television (TV), smoking, heavy episodic drinking, excess weight, and obesity). Logistic regression models estimated crude and adjusted odds ratio (aOR) (adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics) for the association between the risk factors and the presence of DM. RESULTS The overall prevalence of self-reported DM in the population was 9.2%. There was a lower chance of regular consumption of sweetened beverages (aOR 0.79; 95% CI: 0.65-0.97) and heavy episodic drinking (aOR 0.77; 95% CI: 0.65-0.93) and a greater chance of insufficient physical activity (aOR 1.40; 95% CI: 1.25-1.55), prolonged TV screen time (aOR 1.22; 95% CI: 1.09-1.36), excess weight (aOR 1.62; 95% CI: 1.44-1.82) and obesity (aOR 1.87; 95% CI: 1.67-2.10) among individuals with DM. CONCLUSION There was a lower chance of regular consumption of sweetened beverages and heavy episodic drinking among individuals with DM and a greater chance of insufficient physical activity, prolonged TV screen time, excess weight, and obesity, among that.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a randomized controlled trial examining the effects of a social network intervention on health. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS The Microclinic Social Network Program randomized controlled trial (implemented from June 1, 2011, through December 31, 2014) delivered weekly social-health classroom interventions for 9 to 10 months vs standard of care. Longitudinal multilevel analyses examined end-of-trial and 6-month post-intervention outcomes. Social network effects were estimated via a novel social induction ratio. RESULTS We randomized 494 participants, comprising 27 classroom clusters from five neighborhood cohorts. Compared with controls, the intervention showed decreased body weight -6.32 pounds (95% CI, -8.65 to -3.98; overall P<.001), waist circumference -1.21 inches (95% CI, -1.84 to -0.58; overall P<.001), hemoglobin A1c % change -1.60 (95% CI, -1.88 to -1.33; overall P<.001), mean arterial blood pressure -1.83 mm Hg (95% CI, -3.79 to 0.32; overall P<.01), borderline-increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol 1.09 (95% CI, 0.01-2.17; P=.05; overall P=.01). At 6 months post-intervention, net improvements were: weight change 97% sustained (P<.001), waist circumference change 92% sustained (P<.001), hemoglobin A1c change 82.5% sustained (P<.001), high-density lipoprotein change 79% sustained (overall P=.01), and mean arterial blood pressure change greater than 100% sustained improvement of -4.21 mm Hg (P<.001). Mediation analysis found that diet and exercise did not substantially explain improvements. In the intent-to-treat analysis of social causal induction, the weight-change social induction ratio (SIR) was 1.80 for social-network weight change-meaning that social networks explained the greater weight loss in the intervention than controls. Furthermore, we observed an even stronger weight-loss SIR of 2.83 at 6 months post-intervention. CONCLUSION Results show intervention effectiveness for improving health in resource-limited communities, with SIR demonstrating that social-network effects helped induce such improvements.

Abstract
A holistic understanding of human behaviour is considered key for a successful fight against climate change and environmental degradation. In the pursuit of a holistic understanding, empirical research frequently applies the concept of "lifestyle". The concept, which plays a significant role in segmenting customers in the field of marketing, is increasingly used in the cross-domain analysis of behaviour in the field of sustainability. This increase is tied to the challenge that the meaning and operationalisation of the lifestyle concept are still highly fragmented after decades of empirical studies. While this methodological heterogeneity and pluralism of research traditions bring creativity and dynamic to the field, it makes the orientation and a comparison of studies challenging. Previous attempts to streamline lifestyle oriented research have often aimed for a single mode of operationalisation, but this does not meet the diversity of possible applications of the concept. Therefore, a better understanding of the field seems necessary. To fill this gap, we review the understanding and use of the "lifestyle" concept in 53 empirical studies in the field of sustainability and identify 12 variants of lifestyle related research, differing along three dimensions. According to our results, (I) lifestyle can either be used as a cause or as a consequence, (II) the analytical scope can be on a micro-, meso- or macro level, and (III) the behavioural scope can be either limited to a single behavioural domain or cover multiple domains. The three dimensions allow a mapping of existing and future empirical research using the "lifestyle" concept, improve the orientation in the field, facilitate the identification of relevant studies, and avoid imprecise comparisons due to methodological differences.

The primary cause of the pandemic scale of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the excessive and/or abnormal accumulation of adiposity resulting from a chronic positive energy balance. Any form of weight loss dramatically affects the natural history of T2D, favoring prevention, treatment, and even remission in the case of significant weight loss. However, weight regain, which is often accompanied by the recurrence or worsening of obesity complications such as T2D, is an inevitable biological phenomenon that is an integral part of the pathophysiology of obesity. This can occur not only after weight loss, but also during obesity treatment if it is not effective enough to counteract the physiological responses aimed at restoring adiposity to its pre-weight-loss equilibrium state. Over the past few years, many controlled and randomized studies have suggested a superior efficacy of bariatric surgery compared to conventional therapy in terms of weight loss, glycemic control, and rates of T2D remission. Recently, the therapeutic armamentarium in the field of diabetology has been enriched with new antihyperglycemic drugs with considerable efficacy in reducing body weight, which could play a pathogenetic role in the remission of T2D, not through the classical incretin effect, but by improving adipose tissue functions. All these concepts are discussed in this position statement, which aims to deepen the pathogenetic links between obesity and T2D, shift the paradigm from a "simple" interaction between insulin resistance and insulin deficiency, and evaluate the efficacy of different therapeutic interventions to improve T2D management and induce diabetes remission whenever still possible.

Abstract
Diabetes is a heterogeneous metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels resulting from the destruction or malfunction of pancreatic β cells, insulin resistance in peripheral tissues, or both, and results in a non-sufficient production of insulin. To adjust blood glucose levels, diabetic patients need exogenous insulin administration together with medical nutrition therapy and physical activity. With the aim of improving insulin availability in diabetic patients as well as ameliorating diabetes comorbidities, different strategies have been investigated. The first approaches included enhancing endogenous β cell activity or transplanting new islets. The protocol for this kind of intervention has recently been optimized, leading to standardized procedures. It is indicated for diabetic patients with severe hypoglycemia, complicated by impaired hypoglycemia awareness or exacerbated glycemic lability. Transplantation has been associated with improvement in all comorbidities associated with diabetes, quality of life, and survival. However, different trials are ongoing to further improve the beneficial effects of transplantation. Furthermore, to overcome some limitations associated with the availability of islets/pancreas, alternative therapeutic strategies are under evaluation, such as the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or induced pluripotent stem cells for transplantation. The cotransplantation of MSCs with islets has been successful, thus providing protection against proinflammatory cytokines and hypoxia through different mechanisms, including exosome release. The use of induced pluripotent stem cells is recent and requires further investigation. The advantages of MSC implantation have also included the improvement of diabetes-related comorbidities, such as wound healing. Despite the number of advantages of the direct injection of MSCs, new strategies involving biomaterials and scaffolds have been developed to improve the efficacy of mesenchymal cell delivery with promising results. In conclusion, this paper offered an overview of new alternative strategies for diabetes management while highlighting some limitations that will need to be overcome by future approaches.

Abstract
White kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) extracts can aid weight management by reducing calorie intake from complex carbohydrates through alpha-amylase inhibition. We examined the impact of a proprietary aqueous extract from whole dried white kidney beans standardized by its alpha-amylase inhibitor activity (Phase 2 white kidney bean extract (WKBE)) on weight management in subjects with overweight and moderate obesity. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled fashion, 81 participants completed the study and ingested either a high dose of Phase 2 (1000 mg, WKBE HIGH), a low dose (700 mg, WKBE LOW), or a matching placebo (microcrystalline cellulose, PLA) three times a day, 30 min before meals, for 12 weeks during a calorie restricted diet. In a dose-dependent manner, Phase 2 significantly reduced body weight, fat mass, BMI, waist, hip and in the WKBE HIGH group thigh circumference. Phase 2 is an effective and safe supplement aiding weight and fat loss. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02930668.

An SMS chatbot digital educational program to increase healthy eating behaviors in adolescence: A multifactorial randomized controlled trial among 7,890 participants in the Danish National Birth Cohort. PLoS Med 2024; 21:e1004383.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few cost-effective strategies to shift dietary habits of populations in a healthier direction have been identified. We examined if participating in a chatbot health education program transmitted by Short Messages Service ("SMS-program") could improve adolescent dietary behaviors and body weight trajectories. We also explored possible added effects of maternal or peer involvement. METHODS AND FINDINGS We conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) among adolescents from the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC). Eligible were adolescents who during 2015 to 2016 at age 14 years had completed a questionnaire assessing height, weight, and dietary habits. Two thirds were offered participation in an SMS-program, whereas 1/3 ("non-SMS group") received no offer. The SMS program aimed to improve 3 key dietary intake behaviors: sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), fruit and vegetables (FV), and fish. The offered programs had 3 factorially randomized schemes; the aims of these were to test effect of asking the mother or a friend to also participate in the health promotion program, and to test the effect of a 4-week individually tailored SMS program against the full 12-week SMS program targeting all 3 dietary factors. Height and weight and intakes of SSB, FV, and fish were assessed twice by a smartphone-based abbreviated dietary questionnaire completed at 6 months (m) and 18 m follow-up. Main outcome measures were (1) body mass index (BMI) z-score; and (2) an abbreviated Healthy Eating Index (mini-HEI, 1 m window, as mean of z-scores for SSB, FV, and fish). Among the 7,890 randomized adolescents, 5,260 were assigned to any SMS program; 63% (3,338) joined the offered program. Among the 7,890 randomized, 74% (5,853) and 68% (5,370) responded to follow-ups at 6 m and 18 m, respectively. Effects were estimated by intention-to-treat (ITT) analyses and inverse probability weighted per-protocol (IPW-PP) analyses excluding adolescents who did not join the program. Mean (standard deviation (SD)) mini-HEI at baseline, 6 m and 18 m was -0.01 (0.64), 0.01 (0.59), and -0.01 (0.59), respectively. In ITT-analyses, no effects were observed, at any time point, in those who had received any SMS program compared to the non-SMS group, on BMI z-score (6 m: -0.010 [95% confidence interval (CI) -0.035, 0.015]; p = 0.442, 18 m: 0.002 [95% CI -0.029, 0.033]; p = 0.901) or mini-HEI (6 m: 0.016 [95% CI -0.011, 0.043]; p = 0.253, 18m: -0.016 [95% CI -0.045, 0.013]; p = 0.286). In IPW-PP analyses, at 6 m, a small decrease in BMI z-score (-0.030 [95% CI -0.057, -0.003]; p = 0.032) was observed, whereas no significant effect was observed in mini-HEI (0.027 [95% CI -0.002, 0.056]; p = 0.072), among those who had received any SMS program compared to the non-SMS group. At 18 m, no associations were observed (BMI z-score: -0.006 [95% CI -0.039, 0.027]; p = 0.724, and mini-HEI: -0.005 [95% CI -0.036, 0.026]; p = 0.755). The main limitations of the study were that DNBC participants, though derived from the general population, tend to have higher socioeconomic status than average, and that outcome measures were self-reported. CONCLUSIONS In this study, a chatbot health education program delivered through an SMS program had no effect on dietary habits or weight trajectories in ITT analyses. However, IPW-PP-analyses, based on those 63% who had joined the offered SMS program, suggested modest improvements in weight development at 6 m, which had faded at 18 m. Future research should focus on developing gender-specific messaging programs including "booster" messages to obtain sustained engagement.

Abstract
Prediabetes is a condition when the blood glucose levels are above the normal range but below the threshold for defining diabetes. Previously considered benign, it is now recognized to be associated with various macrovascular and microvascular complications, with increases in the risk of cardiovascular events, nephropathy neuropathy, and retinopathy. Early identification of prediabetics may help detect the risk for these future complications at an earlier stage. Moreover, therapeutic options for prediabetes are available, which can retard its progression to diabetes and the subsequent development of complications. Hence, we make a case for the early identification of prediabetes through screening methods and appropriate institution of management strategies.

Abstract
Prediabetes is an intermediate state of glucose homeostasis whereby plasma glucose concentrations are above normal but below the threshold of diagnosis for diabetes. Over the last several decades, criteria for prediabetes have changed as the cut points for normal glucose concentration and diagnosis of diabetes have shifted. Global consensus does not exist for prediabetes criteria; as a result, the clinical course and risk for type 2 diabetes vary. At present, we can identify individuals with prediabetes based on three glycemic tests (hemoglobin A1c, fasting plasma glucose, and 2-h plasma glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test). The majority of individuals diagnosed with prediabetes meet only one of these criteria. Meeting one, two, or all glycemic criteria changes risk for type 2 diabetes, but this information is not widely known and does not currently guide intervention strategies for individuals with prediabetes. This review summarizes current epidemiology, prognosis, and intervention strategies for individuals diagnosed with prediabetes and suggests a call for more precise risk stratification of individuals with prediabetes as elevated (one prediabetes criterion), high risk (two prediabetes criteria), and very high risk (three prediabetes criteria). In addition, the roles of oral glucose tolerance testing and continuous glucose monitoring in the diagnostic criteria for prediabetes need reassessment. Finally, we must reframe our goals for prediabetes and prioritize intensive interventions for those at high and very high risk for type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
The nutrient intake of persons with diabetes placed on a low-carbohydrate diet remains unclear. This study aimed to assess nutrient intake in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with a low-carbohydrate diet. The brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire was used to collect the dietary information of 335 outpatients at Kitasato Institute Hospital, while their clinical characteristics were collected from their electronic medical records. The median age, HbA1c level, and body mass index of the participants were 68 (60-74) years, 49 (45-55) mmol/mol [6.7 (6.3-7.2)%], and 24.0 (21.8-26.7) kg/m2, respectively; median energy intake was 1457 (1153-1786) kcal/day; and protein-energy, fat-energy, and available carbohydrate-energy ratios were 18.6 (15.7-21.4)%E, 36.8 (31.6-43.2)%E, and 34.6 (26.0-42.4)%E, respectively. As the available carbohydrate-energy ratio decreased, the fat-energy ratio increased significantly. The total dietary fibre and salt intake were 7.1 (5.6-8.4) g/1000 kcal and 6.5 (5.6-7.5) g/1000 kcal, respectively. Japanese individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus placed on a low-carbohydrate diet had a fat-to-energy ratio exceeding 30%, while the fat-energy ratio increased as the carbohydrate-energy ratio decreased.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the growing literature, the effectiveness of liraglutide in weight management among individuals with prediabetes and in preventing the disease remains controversial. This study aims to critically evaluate the extent of liraglutide's impact on weight management in this population and assess the heterogeneity among extant studies. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted across MEDLINE, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the reference list of retrieved studies to identify eligible English language randomized controlled trials evaluating liraglutide's effect on weight in individuals with pre-diabetes. Non-randomized studies, studies not reporting relevant outcomes, and those conducted on patients with type 2 diabetes were excluded from this review. Outcomes included a change from baseline in absolute body weight in kg, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Additional safety outcomes were also reported. Data were analyzed using R statistical software version 4.3.1. A fixed-effect model was used when pooling crude numbers for study outcomes. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis using random-effect model was performed and heterogeneity was assessed using I2 statistics. RESULTS Five eligible studies were included, with a total of 1604 subjects in the liraglutide arm and 859 subjects in the control arm. Participants exposed to liraglutide showed a decrease in body weight (mean difference [MD] = -4.95 kg; 95% CI -5.16, -4.73; I2 = 93%), BMI (MD = -2.06 kg/m2; 95%CI -2.22, -1.89; I2 = 97%), waist circumference (MD = -4.61 cm; 95% CI -4.79, -4.43; I2 = 82%), HbA1c (MD = -0.33%; 95%CI -0.34, -0.31; I2 = 100%), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (MD = -0.36 mmol/L; 95% CI -0.39, -0.33; I2 = 99%). The overall effect size remained similar when using a random-effects model for all outcomes. In addition, the rate of adverse events was higher with liraglutide when compared to the control; however, the dropout rates were relatively lower in the former arm. CONCLUSION While our meta-analysis suggests that liraglutide can reduce body weight, BMI, waist circumference, and HbA1c levels in individuals with pre-diabetes, the findings should be interpreted cautiously due to limitations such as the small number of trials and their short duration, and variability in dosages. Further randomized controlled trials examining long-term outcomes are essential to validate these findings and address the high heterogeneity among the studies included in this analysis.

Abstract
Introduction Reaching, enrolling, and retaining participants in lengthy lifestyle change interventions for weight loss is a major challenge. The objective of our meta-analysis was to investigate whether lifestyle interventions addressing nutrition and physical activity lasting 6 months or less are effective for weight loss. Methods We searched for peer-reviewed studies on lifestyle change interventions of 6 months or less published from 2012 through 2023. Studies were screened based on inclusion criteria, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for adults with overweight or obesity. We used a random-effects model to pool the mean difference in weight loss between intervention and control groups. We also performed subgroup analyses by intervention length and control type. Results Fourteen RCTs were identified and included in our review. Half had interventions lasting less than 13 weeks, and half lasted from 13 to 26 weeks. Seven were delivered remotely, 4 were delivered in person, and 3 used combined methods. The pooled mean difference in weight change was -2.59 kg (95% CI, -3.47 to -1.72). The pooled mean difference measured at the end of the intervention was -2.70 kg (95% CI, -3.69 to -1.71) among interventions lasting less than 13 weeks and -2.40 kg (95% CI, -4.44 to -0.37) among interventions of 13 to 26 weeks. Conclusion Short-term multicomponent interventions involving physical activity and nutrition can achieve weight loss for adults with overweight or obesity. Offering short-term interventions as alternatives to long-term ones may reach people who otherwise would be unwilling or unable to enroll in or complete longer programs.

[PMID: 37950521 DOI: 10.1111/eci.14125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dulaglutide, a subcutaneously administered glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, has been hypothesized to lead to weight loss in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the consequences of its prescription on body weight (BW) and other anthropometric indices, for example, body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference (WC), have not been completely clarified. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effects of subcutaneous dulaglutide administration on BW, BMI and WC values in T2DM subjects by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs. METHODS We computed a literature search in five databases (PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, EMBASE, Scopus and Google Scholar) from their inception to February 2023 to identify RCTs that examined the influence of subcutaneous dulaglutide on obesity indices. We calculated effect sizes using the random-effects model (using DerSimonian-Laird method). Results were derived across weighted mean differences (WMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Subgroup analyses were applied to explore possible sources of heterogeneity among the RCTs. The current systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in compliance with The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. RESULTS In total, 18 studies with 33 RCT arms (BW = 33 RCT arms, 14,612 participants, 7869 cases and 6743 controls; BMI = 10 RCT arms, 14,612 subjects, 7869 cases and 6743 controls; WC = 10 RCT arms, 1632 participants, 945 cases and 687 cases) were included in the meta-analysis. BW (WMD: -0.86 kg, 95% CI: -1.22, -0.49, p < 0.001), BMI (WMD: -0.68 kg/m2 , 95% CI: -0.88, -0.49, p < 0.001) and WC (WMD: -1.23 cm, 95% CI: -1.82, -0.63, p < 0.001) values decreased notably following subcutaneous dulaglutide administration versus placebo. BW notably decreased in RCTs lasting >18 weeks (WMD: -1.42 kg, 95% CI: -1.90, -0.94, p < 0.001), whereas notable reductions in WC were seen in RCTs lasting ≤18 weeks (WMD: -1.78 cm, 95% CI: -2.59, -0.98, p < 0.001). Dulaglutide dosages >1 mg/day significantly decreased BW (WMD: -1.94 kg, 95% CI: -2.54, -1.34, p < 0.001), BMI (WMD: -0.80 kg/m2 , 95% CI: -1.07, -0.54, p < 0.001) and WC (WMD: -1.47 cm, 95% CI: -1.80, -1.13, p < 0.001). BW decreased particularly following dulaglutide prescription in individuals with obesity (WMD: -1.05 kg, 95% CI: -1.28, -0.82, p < 0.001) versus overweight. The dose-response meta-analysis revealed that BW decreased significantly when dulaglutide was prescribed in doses ≤3 mg/day versus >3 mg/day. CONCLUSIONS Subcutaneous dulaglutide administration in T2DM reduces BW, BMI and WC. The decrease in BW and WC was influenced by the dose and the duration of dulaglutide administration. The reduction in BMI was only influenced by the dosage of dulaglutide. Moreover, T2DM patients who suffered from obesity experienced a notable decrease in BW versus T2DM subjects without obesity.

The effect of subcutaneous Lixisenatide on weight loss in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Systematic review and Meta-Analysis of randomized controlled trials. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2024; 210:111617.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impacts of subcutaneous Lixisenatide on body weight in patients with type 2 DM, remain inadequately understood; consequently, this systematic review and meta-regression analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to evaluate the influence of subcutaneous Lixisenatide administration on BW and BMI values in individuals with Type 2 diabetes. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted across four databases, spanning from their inception to February 2023. We computed effect sizes employing the random-effects model and reported results in terms of weighted mean differences (WMD) along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS 23 articles with 26 RCT arms were included in the meta-analysis. The combined findings from a random-effects model demonstrated a significant reduction in body weight (WMD: -0.97 kg, 95 % CI: -1.10, -0.83, p < 0.001) and BMI (WMD: -0.48 kg/m2, 95 % CI: -0.67, -0.29, P < 0.001) after subcutaneous administration of Lixisenatide. Furthermore, a more pronounced reduction in body weight was discovered in RCTs lasting less than 24 weeks (WMD: -1.56 kg, 95 % CI: -2.91, -0.20, p < 0.001), employing a daily dosage of subcutaneous Lixisenatide lower than 19 µg per day (WMD: -1.94 kg, 95 % CI: -2.54, -1.34, p < 0.001) and with a mean participant age of 60 years or more (WMD: -1.86 kg, 95 % CI: -3.16, -0.57, p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Lixisenatide was found to significantly decrease BW and BMI in patients with type 2 DM and could be considered as a therapeutic option for those suffering from weight gain caused by other anti-diabetic agents. However, while prescribing Lixisenatide, careful consideration of patient-specific factors is recommended.

Social network enhanced behavioral interventions for diabetes and obesity: A 3 arm randomized trial with 2 years follow-up in Jordan. PLOS GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH 2024; 4:e0001514.

Abstract
While obesity and diabetes are rising pandemics, few low-cost and effective prevention and management strategies exist, especially in the Middle East. Nearly 20% of adults in Jordan suffer from diabetes, and over 75% are overweight or obese. Social network-based programs have shown promise as a viable public health intervention strategy to address these growing crises. We evaluated the effectiveness of the Microclinic Program (MCP) via a 6-month multi-community randomized trial in Jordan, with follow-up at 2 years. The MCP leverages existing social relationships to propagate positive health behaviors and information. We recruited participants from 3 community health centers in Amman, Jordan. Participants were eligible for the study if they had diabetes, pre-diabetes, or possessed ≥1 metabolic risk factor along with a family history of diabetes. We randomized participants into three trial arms: (A Group) received the Full MCP with curriculum-activated social network interactions; (B Group) received Basic MCP educational sessions with organic social network interactions; or (C Group-Control) received standard care coupled with active monitoring and parallel screenings. Groups of individuals were randomized as units in a 3:1:1 ratio, with resulting group sizes of n = 540, 186, and 188 in arms A, B, and C, respectively. We assessed the overall changes in body weight, fasting glucose, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and mean arterial blood pressure between study arms in multiple evaluations across 2 years (including at 6-months and 2-years follow-up). We investigated the effectiveness of Full and Basic MCP social network interventions using multilevel models for longitudinal data with hierarchical nesting of individuals within MCP classrooms, within community centers, and within temporal cohorts. We observed significant overall 2-year differences between all 3 groups for changes in body weight (P = 0.0003), fasting blood glucose (P = 0.0015), and HbA1c (P = 0.0004), but not in mean arterial blood pressure (P = 0.45). However, significant changes in mean arterial pressure were observed for Full MCP versus controls (P = 0.002). Weight loss in the Full MCP exceeded (-0.97 kg (P<0.001)) the Basic MCP during the intervention. Furthermore, both Full and Basic MCP yielded greater weight loss compared to the control group at 2 years. The Full MCP also sustained a superior fasting glucose change over 2 years (overall P<0.0001) versus the control group. For HbA1c, the Full MCP similarly led to greater 6-month reduction in HbA1c versus the control group (P<0.001), with attenuation at 2 years. For mean arterial blood pressure, the Full MCP yielded a greater drop in blood pressure versus control at 6 months; with attenuation at 2 years. These results suggest that activated social networks of classroom interactions can be harnessed to improve health behaviors related to obesity and diabetes. Future studies should investigate how public health policies and initiatives can further leverage social network programs for greater community propagation. Trial registration.

Abstract
Dietary interventions can reduce progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in people with non-diabetic hyperglycaemia. In this study we aimed to determine the impact of a DNA-personalised nutrition intervention in people with non-diabetic hyperglycaemia over 26 weeks. ASPIRE-DNA was a pilot study. Participants were randomised into three arms to receive either (i) Control arm: standard care (NICE guidelines) (n = 51), (ii) Intervention arm: DNA-personalised dietary advice (n = 50), or (iii) Exploratory arm: DNA-personalised dietary advice via a self-guided app and wearable device (n = 46). The primary outcome was the difference in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) between the Control and Intervention arms after 6 weeks. 180 people were recruited, of whom 148 people were randomised, mean age of 59 years (SD = 11), 69% of whom were female. There was no significant difference in the FPG change between the Control and Intervention arms at 6 weeks (- 0.13 mmol/L (95% CI [- 0.37, 0.11]), p = 0.29), however, we found that a DNA-personalised dietary intervention led to a significant reduction of FPG at 26 weeks in the Intervention arm when compared to standard care (- 0.019 (SD = 0.008), p = 0.01), as did the Exploratory arm (- 0.021 (SD = 0.008), p = 0.006). HbA1c at 26 weeks was significantly reduced in the Intervention arm when compared to standard care (- 0.038 (SD = 0.018), p = 0.04). There was some evidence suggesting prevention of progression to T2DM across the groups that received a DNA-based intervention (p = 0.06). Personalisation of dietary advice based on DNA did not result in glucose changes within the first 6 weeks but was associated with significant reduction of FPG and HbA1c at 26 weeks when compared to standard care. The DNA-based diet was effective regardless of intervention type, though results should be interpreted with caution due to the low sample size. These findings suggest that DNA-based dietary guidance is an effective intervention compared to standard care, but there is still a minimum timeframe of adherence to the intervention before changes in clinical outcomes become apparent.Trial Registration: www.clinicaltrials.gov.uk Ref: NCT03702465.

Abstract
Obesity, a multifactorial, relapsing chronic disease, serves as a gateway to a spectrum of metabolic, cardiovascular, mechanical and mental health problems. Over the last few decades, the global prevalence of obesity has surged nearly threefold, mirroring the escalating rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This parallel trajectory strongly suggests a cause-and-effect relationship between obesity and T2DM. Extensive research indicates that even modest weight gain elevates the risk of T2DM, favoring the notion of obesity being a root cause. This perspective finds robust support in numerous studies demonstrating the preventive effects of obesity management on the onset of T2DM. Beyond prevention, obesity management has been shown to enhance remission in individuals with T2DM and to decrease microvascular complications, cardiovascular risk factors, renal failure and heart failure. This evidence underpins the urgent need for global initiatives aimed at addressing obesity management as a key strategy in the prevention and management of T2DM and its complications.

Abstract
Diabetes has reached epidemic levels in the United States (US). This review compared two nationwide diabetes prevention policies: the National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and the Penny-per-Ounce Excise (POE) tax policy on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) based on their efficiency and efficacy in reducing the number of new cases of diabetes in the US. The study made a recommendation for the implementation of one or both policies based on the comparison. The national DPP focuses on screening for prediabetes in overweight/obese individuals and having positive subjects participate in a potentially insured one-year weight loss program with CDC-approved coaches. The POE tax on SSBs on the other hand is based on taxing SSBs with the objective that it will reduce new cases of diabetes due to a lower consumption of these beverages, or a switch to healthier alternatives. Studies that predicted the impact of either policy at the national level were used to compare both policies. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was calculated by dividing the difference in net costs saved by the difference in net effectiveness (diabetes cases prevented per year); thereby comparing both policies in terms of costs saved for each diabetes case prevented per year. Using only nationwide US predictions, it has been estimated that the POE tax on SSB will produce the most cost savings with a greater impact on reducing new cases of diabetes if implemented; therefore, this tax should be recommended, in addition to the already implemented DPP.

Abstract
Pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity are associated with increased risk for adverse outcomes, such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study investigated weight trajectories, eating behaviors, and metabolic consequences in women with GDM during pregnancy and postpartum according to pre-pregnancy BMI. We prospectively included 464 women with GDM. Intuitive eating (Intuitive Eating Scale-2 questionnaire), gestational weight gain (GWG), postpartum weight retention (PPWR) at 6-8 weeks and 1-year postpartum, and glucose intolerance (prediabetes and diabetes) at 1-year were assessed. Women with obesity (WOB) had lower GWG but gained more weight in the postpartum (p < 0.0001). PPWR at 1-year did not differ across BMI categories (p = 0.63), whereas postpartum weight loss was most pronounced in women with normal weight (p < 0.0001), and within this category, in their lowest tertile (p < 0.05). Intuitive eating was not linked to perinatal weight changes but differed among BMI categories. PPWR predicted a 2.5-fold increased risk of glucose intolerance at 1-year independent of pre-pregnancy BMI (p < 0.001), and the adverse metabolic impact of PPWR was most pronounced in WOB with odds of increased risk of glucose intolerance 8.9 times higher (95% CI 2.956;26.968). These findings suggest an adaptive capacity to relatively rapid weight changes in the perinatal period that is less present with higher BMI.

Abstract
Despite the general positive outcomes of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), the program's reach, adherence, and effectiveness among Latinos are still suboptimal. Text-message DPP can potentially overcome barriers and improve DPP outcomes for this group. We aimed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminarily effectiveness of a culturally and linguistically adapted text-message DPP for Latinos. We enrolled 26 eligible Spanish-speaking Latino adults at risk of developing type 2 diabetes (A1c = 5.7%-6.4%, body mass index ≥25) in a 6-month culturally and linguistically adapted text-message DPP. Participants received (i) two to three daily automated text-messages about healthy eating, physical activity, problem-solving skills, lifestyle change motivation, and logistics, (ii) on-demand keyword-driven messages, and (iii) on-demand chat messages with a DPP coach. Outcomes included feasibility (e.g. adherence), acceptability (e.g. satisfaction), and preliminary effectiveness (e.g. weight loss). Twenty-four participants completed the program and follow-up assessments. Participants' mean body weight changed from 191.2 to 186.7 pounds (P = .004); 45.8% of participants lost ≥3%, and 29.2% lost ≥5% of body weight. Body mass index and waist circumference were also reduced [0.9 kg/m2 (P = .003) and 1.1 cm (P = .03), pre-post]. Self-reported physical activity frequency was increased (P = .003). No statistically significant changes in diet quality were found. Most participants were satisfied with the program and perceived it to help prevent diabetes. Our pilot study of an innovative text-message DPP for Latinos demonstrated the program was acceptable, feasible, and potentially effective. Using text-message for DPP can reduce barriers to in-person participation by increasing the program's reach without compromising fidelity and effectiveness.

Abstract
Asthma, which affects some 300 million people worldwide and caused 455,000 deaths in 2019, is a significant burden to suffers and to society. It is the most common chronic disease in children and represents one of the major causes for years lived with disability. Significant efforts are made by organizations such as WHO in improving the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of asthma. However asthma prevention has been less studied. Currently there is a concept of pre- diabetes which allows a reduction in full blown diabetes if diet and exercise are undertaken. Similar predictive states are found in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. In this paper we explore the possibilities for asthma prevention, both at population level and also investigate the possibility of defining a state of pre-asthma, in which intensive treatment could reduce progression to asthma. Since asthma is a heterogeneous condition, this paper is concerned with allergic asthma. A subsequent one will deal with late onset eosinophilic asthma.

Abstract
Introduction Racial and ethnic minority groups and individuals with limited educational attainment experience a disproportionate burden of diabetes. Prediabetes represents a high-risk state for developing type 2 diabetes, but most adults with prediabetes are unaware of having the condition. Uncovering whether racial, ethnic, or educational disparities also occur in the prediabetes stage could help inform strategies to support health equity in preventing type 2 diabetes and its complications. We examined the prevalence of prediabetes and prediabetes awareness, with corresponding prevalence ratios according to race, ethnicity, and educational attainment. Methods This study was a pooled cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2011 to March 2020. The final sample comprised 10,262 U.S. adults who self-reported being Asian, Black, Hispanic, or White. Prediabetes was defined using hemoglobin A1c and fasting plasma glucose values. Those with prediabetes were classified as "aware" or "unaware" based on survey responses. We calculated prevalence ratios (PR) to assess the relationship between race, ethnicity, and educational attainment with prediabetes and prediabetes awareness, controlling for sociodemographic, health and healthcare-related, and clinical characteristics. Results In fully adjusted logistic regression models, Asian, Black, and Hispanic adults had a statistically significant higher risk of prediabetes than White adults (PR:1.26 [1.18,1.35], PR:1.17 [1.08,1.25], and PR:1.10 [1.02,1.19], respectively). Adults completing less than high school and high school had a significantly higher risk of prediabetes compared to those with a college degree (PR:1.14 [1.02,1.26] and PR:1.12 [1.01,1.23], respectively). We also found that Black and Hispanic adults had higher rates of prediabetes awareness in the fully adjusted model than White adults (PR:1.27 [1.07,1.50] and PR:1.33 [1.02,1.72], respectively). The rates of prediabetes awareness were consistently lower among those with less than a high school education relative to individuals who completed college (fully-adjusted model PR:0.66 [0.47,0.92]). Discussion Disparities in prediabetes among racial and ethnic minority groups and adults with low educational attainment suggest challenges and opportunities for promoting health equity in high-risk groups and expanding awareness of prediabetes in the United States.

Abstract
Background and Objective Over 26 million older adults in the United States (US) have prediabetes, which is often a precursor to type 2 diabetes. The Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) is an evidence-based, lifestyle program for older-adult Medicare beneficiaries to prevent progression to diabetes. However, the MDPP has been drastically underutilized. Telehealth delivery may be a promising strategy to increase the reach and impact of the MDPP, including for underserved populations. The objective of this narrative review is to explore the role of telehealth on the accessibility and effectiveness of diabetes prevention programs (DPPs) for older adults. Methods We searched the online databases of MEDLINE, APA PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Academic Search Elite for studies that used telehealth to deliver DPPs to older adults through distance learning, i.e., live program delivery where participants join via phone- or video-conferencing. Relevant information from policy documents and related publications was also included. Key Content and Findings Three themes emerged from the literature on telehealth delivery of DPPs for older adults (I) clinical effectiveness for weight loss, (II) feasibility and acceptability of this format; and (III) policy considerations to support greater public health impact. There is a growing body of recent evidence to suggest that older adults achieve a clinically meaningful amount of weight loss from participation in telehealth DPPs. The literature suggests that telehealth program delivery is feasible, and older adults find it acceptable, with some specific accommodations. Effectiveness and acceptability of telehealth interventions were also noted for older adults from rural, ethnically-diverse, and low-income groups. Policy considerations include adjustments in rulemaking by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to allow MDPP delivery via telehealth using distance learning, along with sufficient reimbursement rates. Conclusions The evidence indicates that delivery of the MDPP via telehealth is beneficial for increasing program reach and impact, including among underserved groups, as well as providing social support for older participants. Scalable delivery of the MDPP via telehealth is essential to make a national, population-level impact for older adults with prediabetes who receive Medicare benefits.

Abstract
Weight loss is critical to reduce diabetes risk. Diabetes Prevention Programs (DPPs) are effective for weight loss, although less is known about digital DPPs. This study explores the association between Brook+, a 52-week digital DPP, and weight loss. This longitudinal observational study uses a sample of 5,516 private, Medicare, and Medicaid health insurance members from Western New York enrolled into Brook+ between December 2020 and December 2022. We used multivariable generalized linear regression models to estimate the association between completion of the Brook+ program, overall and stratified by health insurance type, and 5% weight loss using odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), adjusted for age and gender. We also estimated average weight loss from baseline associated with high engagement with the program using adjusted linear regression models. In the pooled sample, those who completed the Brook + program had 21% increased odds of 5% weight loss (OR = 1.21 95% CI: (1.02 - 1.44)). Among users enrolled in private, Medicare, and Medicaid health insurance, program completion was associated with 21%, 33%, and 13% increased odds of 5% weight loss, compared to those who did not complete Brook+. Interacting with health coaches, increased physical activity, and meal logging were all significant predictors of weight loss. Our results suggest that digital DPPs are promising for large-scale diabetes prevention via weight loss and lifestyle change.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review examines lifestyle modification for obesity management with the goal of identifying treatment components that could support the use of a new generation of anti-obesity medications (AOMs). RECENT FINDINGS Semaglutide reliably reduces baseline body weight by approximately 15% at 68 weeks, in contrast to 5-10% for lifestyle modification. Tirzepatide induces mean losses as great as 20.9%. Both medications reduce energy intake by markedly enhancing satiation and decreasing hunger, and they appear to lessen the need for traditional cognitive and behavioral strategies (e.g., monitoring food intake) to achieve calorie restriction. Little, however, is known about whether patients who lose weight with these AOMs adopt healthy diet and activity patterns needed to optimize body composition, cardiometabolic health, and quality of life. When used with the new AOMs, the focus of lifestyle modification is likely to change from inducing weight loss (through calorie restriction) to facilitating patients' adoption of dietary and activity patterns that will promote optimal changes in body composition and overall health.

Abstract
AIM We assessed the impact of tirzepatide on 10-year predicted risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) among participants in the SURMOUNT-1 trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this post hoc analysis of SURMOUNT-1, the Cardiometabolic Disease Staging risk engine was used to calculate the 10-year predicted risk of T2D at baseline, week 24 and week 72 among participants randomized to receive 5, 10, or 15 mg tirzepatide or placebo. Mean changes in risk scores from baseline to weeks 24 and 72 were compared between tirzepatide and placebo groups. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on participants' glycaemic status and body mass index at baseline. RESULTS Mean baseline T2D predicted risk scores did not differ between tirzepatide and placebo groups (range: 22.9%-24.3%). At week 72, mean absolute T2D predicted risk score reductions were significantly greater in tirzepatide groups (5 mg, 12.4%; 10 mg, 14.4%; 15 mg, 14.7%) versus placebo (0.7%). At week 72, median relative predicted risk reductions following tirzepatide treatment ranged from 60.3% to 69.0%. For participants with and without prediabetes, risk reductions were significantly greater in tirzepatide groups versus placebo. At week 72, participants with prediabetes (range: 16.0%-20.3%) had greater mean risk score reductions from baseline versus those without prediabetes (range: 10.1%-11.3%). Across body mass index subgroups, mean reductions from baseline were significantly greater in tirzepatide groups versus placebo. CONCLUSION Tirzepatide treatment significantly reduced the 10-year predicted risk of developing T2D compared with placebo in participants with obesity or overweight, regardless of baseline glycaemic status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Exercise is a key way to control the blood glucose, which can improve blood lipids and blood pressure, reduce glycated hemoglobin levels, and increase insulin sensitivity. It is of great significance for maintaining blood glucose homeostasis. This study aims to explore the optimal exercise combinations suitable for diabetic patients, and to provide scientific and effective personalized exercise guidance for diabetic patients. METHODS The physical examination data and questionnaire results of were collected from the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. The study was involved in 3 867 diabetes from January, 2020 to December, 2021. The basic information and living habits were obtained through questionnaires. The fasting blood samples were collected to measure the levels of total cholesterol (TCh), triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and fasting blood glucose. Physical measurements included height, weight, waistline, hipline, and blood pressure. Categorical variables were tested using chi-square tests, and continuous variables were tested using non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between exercise behaviors (frequency, duration, and intensity), years of exercise, diet habits, medicine, and fasting blood glucose. The relationship between different exercise behaviors and various indexes (BMI, blood pressure, blood lipids, blood glucose) was analyzed by multiple rising sun rose plots. The polar thermal diagram showed the relationship of exercise behaviors with the best expected effect. RESULTS Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there were significant differences in other indexes except LDL-C (P=0.681) among groups with different exercise behaviors (all P<0.01). The multiple rising sun rose plots showed that diabetic patients who did moderate to high intensity exercise more than 5 times a week for more than 30 min each time had a healthier BMI, blood lipid levels, blood glucose levels, and blood pressure. Polar thermal diagram showed that low-intensity exercise once or twice a week requires 30 to 60 min or more of exercise to achieve the desired results. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that frequency (β=-0.208, 95% CI -0.356 to -0.059, P=0.006), duration (β=-0.227, 95% CI -0.387 to -0.066, P=0.006), intensity of exercise (β=-0.110, 95% CI -0.218 to -0.002, P=0.046), diet habits (β=0.462, 95% CI 0.295 to 0.556, P<0.001) and medicine (β=-0.520, 95% CI -0.720 to -0.312, P<0.001) were correlated with fasting blood glucose. CONCLUSIONS Moderate to high intensity exercise for more than 30 min and 5 times a week is the most beneficial combination for diabetes. Low exercise intensity should be combined with higher exercise frequency and longer exercise time to achieve the desired effect. With the increase of exercise intensity, the relationship between low exercise frequency and long exercise time is weakened.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Experience of stroke is associated with an increased risk for diabetes and metabolic syndrome, yet few interventions exist that have been tailored to the population's unique needs. PURPOSE To examine adherence and efficacy of the Diabetes Prevention Program Group Lifestyle Balance program (DPP-GLB) modified for individuals post stroke (GLB-CVA) using a randomized controlled trial. METHODS Adults (18-85 years of age), >12 months post stroke, and body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 were included in this study. Sixty-five individuals were assigned to either the GLB-CVA intervention or a 6-month wait-list control. Participants completed the 12-month GLB-CVA intervention, with attendance and assessment of weight, anthropometric, biomarker, functional, and patient reported outcome data collected at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. RESULTS High attendance (90%) and dietary and activity tracking (71%) suggest high adherence to the 12-month GLB-CVA. Six-month randomized controlled trial data indicate significant weight loss (p = .005) in the GLB-CVA group (7.4 ± 13.6 lbs, 3.65%) compared with the wait-list control (0.1 ± 10.1 lbs, 0%), and improvements in arm circumference (p = .04), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (p = .028), 8-year diabetes risk (p = .011), and pain interference (p < .001). Combined 12-month data showed participants lost 10.1 ± 16.8 lbs (4.88%) and improved waist circumference (p = .001), HbA1c (3.6%), diastolic blood pressure (p < .001), pain (p = .001), social participation (p = .025), and eating practices (p = .01) and habits (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Engagement in the GLB-CVA can result in weight loss and improved health for individuals who are overweight or obese following stroke. Future efforts should examine effectiveness in real-world settings and focus on knowledge translation efforts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and is considered a global epidemic. Despite the growing evidence on the effectiveness of mobile health interventions in the management of DM2, the evidence on the effect of mobile health interventions in prevention of DM2 is sparse. Therefore, we have developed an app aiming to promote initiation of behavioral change and adherence to healthy behavior. Before commencing a small-scale randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility of using an app for initiation and adherence of healthy behavior in people at risk of DM2, testing the usability of the app in the target population is warranted. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the usability of an app among people at risk of DM2. METHODS A qualitative study with the use of a think aloud (TA) procedure was conducted from April to November 2022. The TA procedure consisted of 10 problem-solving tasks and a semistructured interview which was carried out after the tasks. These interviews served to gain more in-depth knowledge of the users experience of the problem-solving tasks. The TA-sessions and the postactivity interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim, and the data were coded and analyzed following the principles of thematic analysis. RESULTS In total, 7 people at risk of DM2 with a median age of 66 (range 41-75) years participated in this study. The analysis resulted in the following themes: (1) user interface design; and (2) suggestions for improvements of the functionality of the app. CONCLUSIONS Overall, the participants were satisfied with the usability of the app. Through the TA-sessions, real time perspective on the appeal, relevance, and utility of the app were gained. Only minor changes to the functionality of the prototype app were reported as necessary to improve the usability of the app. Points of guidance from the participants in this study have been adopted and incorporated into the final design of the app now being assessed for feasibility in a small-scale randomized controlled trial.

Lifestyle Interventions to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes in Women with a History of Gestational Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis through the Lens of Health Equity. Nutrients 2023; 15:4666. [PMID: 37960319 PMCID: PMC10649749 DOI: 10.3390/nu15214666] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellites is one of the health problems disproportionally affecting people with low socioeconomic statuses. Gestational diabetes mellites increases the risk of type 2 diabetes by up to ten-fold for women. Lifestyle interventions prevent type 2 diabetes in women with prior gestational diabetes. However, it is unknown if similar effectiveness can be expected for all population subgroups. OBJECTIVE This study aims to assess the prevention of type 2 diabetes in women with prior gestational diabetes using population characteristics according to the PROGRESS (place of residence, race/ethnicity/culture/language, occupation, gender/sex, religion, education, socioeconomic status, and social capital) criteria. METHODS MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and EBM Reviews databases were searched for interventional studies of diet, physical activity, or behavioural interventions published up to 21 February 2023. Random effects subgroup meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the association of population characteristics and intervention effects. RESULTS All studies were conducted in high-income countries or middle-income countries. Two-thirds of the studies reported on race/ethnicity and education level. Less than one-third reported on place (urban/rural), occupation, and socioeconomic status. None reported on religion or social capital. Studies from high-income countries (MD = -1.46; 95% CI: -2.27, -0.66, I2 = 70.46, p < 0.001) showed a greater reduction in bodyweight compared with the studies conducted in middle-income countries (MD = -0.11; 95% CI: -1.12, 0.89, I2 = 69.31, p < 0.001) (p for subgroup difference = 0.04). CONCLUSION There are significant equity gaps in the evidence for the prevention of type 2 diabetes in women with prior gestational diabetes due to reports on population characteristics being poor. Interventions may be less effective in reducing bodyweight in women from middle-income countries compared to high-income countries. Collecting and analysing data related to equity is needed to understand the effect of lifestyle interventions on type 2 diabetes for different population subgroups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to: 1) determine the feasibility of a virtual reality physical activity intervention among older adults and 2) test the preliminary effectiveness of the intervention at increasing physical activity and 3) decreasing depressive symptoms. METHODS We included 10 older adults randomized into the Motivating Older Adults Through Immersive Virtual Exercise (MOTIVE) intervention group and 10 randomized into the physical activity education only control group. We analyzed the data using descriptive statistics and linear mixed models, testing the interaction of time and the treatment condition. RESULTS Participants in the intervention group attended an average of 15 out of the 16 sessions. A total of 90% of MOTIVE intervention group participants "completely agreed" that the intervention was acceptable, (compared to 30% of education control group participants). CONCLUSION This study supports testing the effectiveness of the intervention at improving physical activity and depressive symptoms in a larger sample of older adults.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Systematic reviews of interventions for diabetes prevention have focused on lifestyle interventions, including the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and translations of the DPP. However, nationally, few people with prediabetes have joined or completed a DPP, with one cited barrier being committing to a yearlong program. This study was a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness of lower-intensity lifestyle interventions for prediabetes on weight change, glycemia, and health behaviors. METHODS English-language studies from PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL from 2000 to February 23, 2022 were searched for RCTs of nonpregnant adults with prediabetes and elevated BMI and lower-intensity interventions (defined as ≤12 months and <14 sessions over 6 months). Two reviewers independently identified 11 trials, assessed study quality (using Cochrane risk-of-bias tool), and extracted data serially. A qualitative synthesis was conducted by outcome. RESULTS Only 1 of 11 trials of lower-intensity interventions was of high quality (>80% follow-up rate and low risk of bias). This 6-month study compared an app with standardized dietary advice, showing a 3-kg greater body weight reduction and 0.2% greater reduction of HbA1c. DISCUSSION The evidence on lower-intensity lifestyle interventions for diabetes prevention is limited by the small number and methodologic weaknesses of previous trials, and future research is needed in this area. Given the low uptake of and retention in evidence-based high-intensity programs, future work is needed to investigate the effectiveness of novel lower-intensity interventions offered with established DPP content of varying duration and intensity.

Abstract
The review aims to explore the potential benefit and risk of high-protein diets (HPD) regarding the comorbidity of sarcopoenia and CVD in the setting of cardiac rehabilitation (CR). CR is standard care for individuals who have experienced a cardiac event, but the current practice of predominantly aerobic exercise, a lower-fat diet and weight loss poorly addresses the issue of sarcopoenia. HPD, especially when combined with resistance exercise (RE), may be valuable adjuncts to current CR practice and benefit both muscle and cardiovascular health. Meta-analyses and randomised controlled trials of HPD and CVD risk show beneficial but variable effects regarding weight loss, the lipid profile, insulin resistance and lean body mass in those living with or high risk of CVD. Meta-analyses of prospective cohort studies on hard CVD endpoints favour lower- and plant-protein diets over higher animal protein, but the evidence is inconsistent. HPD augment the strength and muscle gaining benefits of RE in older populations, but there are no published data in those living with CVD providing promising opportunities for CR research. HPD raise concern regarding renal and bone health, the microbiome, branched chain amino acids and environmental sustainability and findings suggest that plant-based HPD may confer ecological and overall health advantages compared to animal-based HPD. However, incorporating RE with HPD might alleviate certain health risks. In conclusion, a largely plant-based HPD is deemed favourable for CR when combined with RE, but further research regarding efficacy and safety in CR populations is needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, the impact of weight loss on cardiovascular health (CVH) in individuals with specific obesity patterns remains incompletely understood. The objective of our study was to investigate the relationship weight loss percentage and CVH scores across individuals with various obesity patterns. METHODS Our study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 2007 and 2018, involving a total of 12,835 participants aged 16 years or older, to conduct a cross-sectional analysis. Multiple linear regression and multinomial logistic regression methods were used to assess the correlation between the weight loss percentage and the CVH scores. Additionally, restricted cubic spline analysis was employed to examine the nonlinear relationship between the two variables. RESULTS Compared to individuals with a weight loss percentage < 0%, participants with weight loss percentages of 0-5% and 5.1-10% showed improved CVH scores, with β values of 2.85 (95% CI 2.32-3.38) and 2.55 (95% CI 1.69-3.4), respectively. Regarding different obesity patterns, compared to participants with a weight loss percentage < 0%, participants with a weight loss percentage of 0-5% showed an increase in CVH scores in the normal weight and overweight/general obesity (OGO) groups, with β values of 1.45 (95% CI 0.7-2.19) and 1.22 (95% CI 0.46-1.97), respectively. Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a significant inverted U-shaped relationship between the weight loss percentage and the CVH scores (with optimal CVH scores at 3%). CONCLUSIONS There was an inverted U-shaped relationship between weight loss percentage and CVH scores, with moderate weight loss (0-10%, optimal value of 3%) being associated with improved CVH scores, especially among individuals with OGO. LEVEL V Opinions of respected authorities, based on descriptive studies, narrative reviews, clinical experience, or reports of expert committees.

Abstract
Background Pediatric type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing in prevalence, yet it is unclear what definition of pediatric prediabetes predicts progression to T2D. Strategies are needed to better identify at risk individuals who could benefit from early intervention. Methods Retrospective chart review of a pediatric prediabetes clinic over 7 years. Inclusion criteria include hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C) and ≥1 glucose from oral glucose tolerance test. Exclusion criteria include type 1 diabetes, maturity onset diabetes of the young, or T2D on initial visit. Results A total of 552 patients were included, 6.5% (n = 36) progressed to T2D over 2.4 ± 1.5 years. At initial visit, T2D progressors had a higher body mass index (38.6 ± 6.5 vs 34.2 ± 8.4 kg/m2, P = .002), HbA1C (6.0 ± 0.3%, vs 5.7± 0.3, P < .001), 2-hour glucose (141 ± 28 vs 114 ± 29 mg/dL, P < .001), and C-peptide (4.8 vs 3.6 ng/mL, P = .001). Fasting glucose was not significantly different. In a multivariable model, male sex (hazard ratio [HR], 2.4; P = .012), initial visit HbA1C (HR, 1.3 per 0.1% increase; P < .001), and 2-hour glucose level (HR, 1.2 per 10 mg/dL increase; P = .014) were all predictive of T2D progression. Patients who progressed to T2D had an increase in body mass index of 4.2 kg/m2 and children consistently taking metformin took longer to progress (43 ± 21 vs 26 ± 16 months; P = .016). Discussion A total of 6.5% of patients with prediabetes developed T2D over a 7-year period. Initial visit laboratory values and weight trajectory may allow for risk stratification, whereas fasting plasma glucose is less helpful. Weight stabilization and metformin therapy could be important interventions for diabetes prevention in children.

Abstract
Obesity rates after traumatic brain injury (TBI) are high and are associated with greater risk of morbidity (diabetes, hypertension) and mortality when compared to the general population. Evidence-based interventions for this population are needed and our work modifying and examining the efficacy of the Diabetes Prevention Program Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB-TBI) are promising. Our recent randomized controlled trial included 57 adults with TBI who completed the GLB-TBI in-person and lost 17.8 ± 16.4lbs (7.9% body weight) compared to the attention control (0%). To broaden the accessibility of the intervention we will complete an RCT to assess the efficacy of telehealth delivery (tGLB-TBI) by enrolling 88 participants over a 3 year period. Results will provide a scalable telehealth weight-loss program that clinicians and community workers across the country can use to help people with TBI lose weight and improve health. The long-term goal is to reduce health inequities and broaden program dissemination to people with TBI that lack access due to environmental barriers, including living rurally or lacking transportation.

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) with equal energy expenditure on glycaemic and cardiometabolic risk factors in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) when compared to the control. Sixty-three people with T2DM were randomly assigned to HIIT, MICT, or non-exercising controls. Individuals were trained with HIIT at 90 and 30% of their VO2peak (1:2 min ratio) starting from 8 up to 16 intervals and MICT at 50% of VO2peak, on a cycle ergometer, 3 times/week for 12 weeks under supervision. The primary outcome measure was the change in HbA1c. Aerobic capacity, cardiovascular responses, anthropometric measures, body composition, glycaemic, and cardiometabolic risk factors were measured at the beginning and the end of the 12-week training period. There was no significant difference between HIIT and MICT or when compared to the control for HbA1c, glucose, insulin resistance, blood lipids, cardiovascular responses, anthropometric measures, body composition, and abdominal and visceral fat (padj > 0.05). HIIT and MICT increased VO2peak significantly compared to controls (p < 0.05) but not to each other (p > 0.05). Both HIIT and MICT improved VO2peak and HbA1c after 12 weeks of training compared to their baseline, furthermore, only MICT caused additional improvements in cardiovascular responses, anthropometric measures, and abdominal fat compared to baseline (p < 0.05). As a conclusion, isoenergetic HIIT or MICT did not improve HbA1c. The two protocols were equally efficient for improvement in aerobic capacity but had little effect on other cardiometabolic factors.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03682445.HighlightsHIIT and MICT with equal energy expenditure were equally efficient for aerobic capacity compared to controls.Isoenergetic HIIT or MICT were not superior for improving HbA1c.Isoenergetic HIIT and MICT were not superior to each other for anthropometric measures, body composition, and cardiometabolic risk factors.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Strong evidence is evolving that physical exercise prevents hypertension and reduces blood pressure in patients with pre- and manifest HTN. Yet, identifying and confirming the effectiveness of exercise are challenging. Herein, we discuss conventional and novel biomarkers such as extracellular vesicles (EVs) which may track responses to HTN before and after exercise. RECENT FINDINGS Evolving data shows that improved aerobic fitness and vascular function as well as lowered oxidative stress, inflammation, and gluco-lipid toxicity are leading biomarkers considered to promote HTN, but they explain only about a half of the pathophysiology. Novel biomarkers such as EVs or microRNA are providing additional input to understand the complex mechanisms involved in exercise therapy for HTN patients. Conventional and novel biomarkers are needed to fully understand the integrative "cross-talk" between tissues to regulate vasculature physiology for blood pressure control. These biomarker studies will lead to more specific disease markers and the development of even more personalized therapy in this field. However, more systematic approaches and randomized controlled trials in larger cohorts are needed to assess exercise effectiveness across the day and with different exercise types.

Abstract
Obesity continues to increase in prevalence globally, driven by changes in environmental factors which have accelerated the development of obesity in individuals with an underlying predisposition to weight gain. The adverse health effects and increased risk for chronic disease associated with obesity are ameliorated by weight loss, with greater benefits from larger amounts of weight reduction. Obesity is a heterogeneous condition, with the drivers, phenotype and complications differing substantially between individuals. This raises the question of whether treatments for obesity, specifically pharmacotherapy, can be targeted based on individual characteristics. This review examines the rationale and the clinical data evaluating this strategy in adults. Individualised prescribing of obesity medication has been successful in rare cases of monogenic obesity where medications have been developed to target dysfunctions in leptin/melanocortin signalling pathways but has been unsuccessful in polygenic obesity due to a lack of understanding of how the gene variants associated with body mass index affect phenotype. At present, the only factor consistently associated with longer-term efficacy of obesity pharmacotherapy is early weight loss outcome, which cannot inform choice of therapy at the time of medication initiation. The concept of matching a therapy for obesity to the characteristics of the individual is appealing but as yet unproven in randomised clinical trials. With increasing technology allowing deeper phenotyping of individuals, increased sophistication in the analysis of big data and the emergence of new treatments, it is possible that precision medicine for obesity will eventuate. For now, a personalised approach that takes into account the person's context, preferences, comorbidities and contraindications is recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is important to determine the influence of traditional risk factors on the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in young adults. Goal of the research: To study the incidence of T2DM and factors that increase the risk of its occurrence during the observation of a cohort of young adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS 1341 people aged 25-44 were included in the study from 2013 to 2017, of whom 622 were men (46.4%). The examination included anamnesis, anthropometric data, and a blood test. Cases of developed T2DM were identified by comparing the Diabetes Mellitus Register, medical records of patients, and the database of examined individuals from 2019 to 2023. T2DM Results: In the examined population, 11 participants (0.82%) developed T2DM. The prevalence of T2DM was 0.96% in men and 0.69% in women. Patients with T2DM had a higher waist circumference, BMI, SBP, TG, and lower HDL than patients without T2DM, and were also less likely to have a higher education. The risk of developing T2DM increases 6.5 times at a BMI of ≥30 kg/m2, and 5.2 times at a TG level of ≥1.7 mmol/L, regardless of other risk factors. In the absence of a higher education, the risk of developing T2DM is increased by 5.6 times. CONCLUSION In young people, high triglyceride levels, obesity, and a low level of education are associated with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, regardless of other factors.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic and progressive cardiometabolic disorder that affects more than 10% of adults worldwide and is a major cause of morbidity, mortality, disability, and high costs. Over the past decade, the pattern of management of diabetes has shifted from a predominantly glucose centric approach, focused on lowering levels of haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), to a directed complications centric approach, aimed at preventing short term and long term complications of diabetes, and a pathogenesis centric approach, which looks at the underlying metabolic dysfunction of excess adiposity that both causes and complicates the management of diabetes. In this review, we discuss the latest advances in patient centred care for type 2 diabetes, focusing on drug and non-drug approaches to reducing the risks of complications of diabetes in adults. We also discuss the effects of social determinants of health on the management of diabetes, particularly as they affect the treatment of hyperglycaemia in type 2 diabetes.
