Inclusion Criteria:
BMI over 25 kg/m2; age 40–64 years ; impaired glucose tolerance on the basis of the mean values of two oral glucose tolerance tests with 2-h plasma glucose 7.8-11.0 mmol/L; fasting blood glucose of <7.8 mmol/L
Exclusion Criteria:
Previous diagnosis type 2 diabetes mellitus - other than gestational diabetes; persons involved regularly in a vigorous exercise programme receiving treatment to lower blood glucose; persons with chronic disease making a 6-year survival improbable; medical characteristics likely to interfere with participation in the study; subjects with unbalanced clinical conditions, such as thyroid and liver disease (can interfere with glucose metabolism).
Research Purpose:
The aim of this study was to investigate whether diabetes incidence was still reduced after a median of 13 years from the initiation of lifestyle intervention. In addition, we explored the changes in lifestyle (diet and physical activity)and clinical variables (body weight, fasting and 2 h plasma glucose after an OGTT) during and after the active intervention period and analyzed the association between life-style changes and diabetes risk.
