Exclusion Criteria:
Diabetes, cardiovascular disease in the past 6 months, uncontrolled hypertension, medications affecting glucose metabolism, and major chronic illnesses that would affect participation and/or limit lifespan.
Research Purpose:
The Healthy Living Partnerships to Prevent Diabetes (HELP PD) was a clinical trial in which participants were randomized to receive a community-based lifestyle intervention translated from the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) or an enhanced usual care condition. The objective of this study is to compare the 12 and 24-month prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the two treatment arms of HELP PD.
