Baseline characteristics of participants in the Kerala Diabetes Prevention Program: a cluster randomized controlled trial of lifestyle intervention in Asian Indians.

ABSTRACT: To describe the baseline characteristics of participants in the Kerala Diabetes Prevention Program.The Kerala Diabetes Prevention Program is a cluster randomized controlled trial of lifestyle intervention for prevention of Type 2 diabetes mellitus in India. Participants in the study were those aged 30-60 years who had an Indian Diabetes Risk Score ? 60 and who were without Type 2 diabetes on oral glucose tolerance test. Data on demographic, lifestyle, clinical and biochemical characteristics were collected using standardized tools.A total of 2586 individuals were screened with the Indian Diabetes Risk Score, of these 1529 people (59.1%) had a score ? 60, of whom 1209 (79.1%) underwent an oral glucose tolerance test. A total of 202 individuals (16.7%) had undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes and were excluded, and the remaining 1007 individuals were enrolled in the trial (control arm, n = 507; intervention arm, n = 500). The mean participant age was 46.0 ± 7.5 years, and 47.2% were women. The mean Indian Diabetes Risk Score was 67.1 ± 8.4. More than two-thirds (69.0%) had prediabetes and 31.0% had normal glucose tolerance. The prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors was high, including current tobacco use (34.4% in men), current alcohol use (39.3% in men), no leisure time exercise (98.0%), no daily intake of fruit and vegetables (78.7%), family history of diabetes (47.9%), overweight or obesity (68.5%), hypertension (22.3%) and dyslipidemia (85.4%).The Kerala Diabetes Prevention Program recruited participants using a diabetes risk score. A large proportion of the participants had prediabetes and there were high rates of cardiometabolic risk factors. The trial will evaluate the effectiveness of lifestyle intervention in a population selected on the basis of a diabetes risk score.

Project description:BackgroundThe major efficacy trials on diabetes prevention have used resource-intensive approaches to identify high-risk individuals and deliver lifestyle interventions. Such strategies are not feasible for wider implementation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a peer-support lifestyle intervention in preventing type 2 diabetes among high-risk individuals identified on the basis of a simple diabetes risk score.Methods and findingsThe Kerala Diabetes Prevention Program was a cluster-randomized controlled trial conducted in 60 polling areas (clusters) of Neyyattinkara taluk (subdistrict) in Trivandrum district, Kerala state, India. Participants (age 30-60 years) were those with an Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) ?60 and were free of diabetes on an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). A total of 1,007 participants (47.2% female) were enrolled (507 in the control group and 500 in the intervention group). Participants from intervention clusters participated in a 12-month community-based peer-support program comprising 15 group sessions (12 of which were led by trained lay peer leaders) and a range of community activities to support lifestyle change. Participants from control clusters received an education booklet with lifestyle change advice. The primary outcome was the incidence of diabetes at 24 months, diagnosed by an annual OGTT. Secondary outcomes were behavioral, clinical, and biochemical characteristics and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). A total of 964 (95.7%) participants were followed up at 24 months. Baseline characteristics of clusters and participants were similar between the study groups. After a median follow-up of 24 months, diabetes developed in 17.1% (79/463) of control participants and 14.9% (68/456) of intervention participants (relative risk [RR] 0.88, 95% CI 0.66-1.16, p = 0.36). At 24 months, compared with the control group, intervention participants had a greater reduction in IDRS score (mean difference: -1.50 points, p = 0.022) and alcohol use (RR 0.77, p = 0.018) and a greater increase in fruit and vegetable intake (?5 servings/day) (RR 1.83, p = 0.008) and physical functioning score of the HRQoL scale (mean difference: 3.9 score, p = 0.016). The cost of delivering the peer-support intervention was US$22.5 per participant. There were no adverse events related to the intervention. We did not adjust for multiple comparisons, which may have increased the overall type I error rate.ConclusionsA low-cost community-based peer-support lifestyle intervention resulted in a nonsignificant reduction in diabetes incidence in this high-risk population at 24 months. However, there were significant improvements in some cardiovascular risk factors and physical functioning score of the HRQoL scale.Trial registrationAustralia and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN12611000262909.

Project description:IntroductionDiabetes and obesity pose a significant burden for the U.S. military beneficiary population, creating a great need to provide evidence-based diabetes and obesity prevention services for military personnel, retirees, and their dependents. Despite increasing dissemination of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) lifestyle intervention nationwide, formal evaluation of implementation of this highly successful program is limited in the military setting. The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate delivery of a direct adaptation of a 1-year DPP lifestyle intervention at a U.S. Air Force medical facility, Wright-Patterson Medical Center (WPMC), to determine the feasibility of delivery of the program in a group of at-risk active duty military, retirees, and family members, as well as assess effectiveness in improving weight and other risk factors for type 2 diabetes.Materials and methodsA pre/post study design was utilized to evaluate feasibility and effectiveness of the DPP Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB), an up-to-date, 22-session direct adaptation of the DPP curriculum, at WPMC. Participants chose to complete the 1-year program either in coach-led face-to-face groups or via DVD with weekly telephonic coach contact. The study was approved by the University of Pittsburgh and WPMC Institutional Review Boards.ResultsA total of 99 individuals enrolled in the study, with 83 (84%) and 77 (78%) completing 6- and 12-month follow-up assessments, respectively. The mean age of participants at baseline was 57 (range 20-85 years), with 63% being female. The group was comprised of individuals who were non-Hispanic White (73.7%), non-Hispanic Black (18.2%), and other race or Hispanic ethnicity (8.1%). Within this group, there were 10 active duty military, 37 retirees, and 52 family members. The DPP-GLB program was shown to be feasible to implement in this military healthcare setting as demonstrated by the high engagement over the course of the year-long program. Significant improvements were shown in the two main behavioral goals: mean weight (-12.8 lbs, -6.3%, P < .001) and mean physical activity (PA) (+18.9 Met-hrs/wk, P < .001). In addition, significant improvements in other diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting insulin, diastolic blood pressure, and waist circumference were noted, as well as improvement in health-related quality of life.ConclusionsThese results demonstrate that the DPP-GLB program delivered via face-to-face groups or DVD was feasible and effective in improving weight, PA levels, and diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors in this group of active and retired military personnel and their family members. The program was well received by the program participants as well as the WPMC team. These findings offer a model for provision of the DPP-GLB program throughout the Military Health System.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Data on the cost-effectiveness of lifestyle-based diabetes prevention programs are mostly from high-income countries, which cannot be extrapolated to low- and middle-income countries. We performed a trial-based cost-effectiveness analysis of a lifestyle intervention targeted at preventing diabetes in India. METHODS:The Kerala Diabetes Prevention Program was a cluster-randomized controlled trial of 1007 individuals conducted in 60 polling areas (electoral divisions) in Kerala state. Participants (30-60?years) were those with a high diabetes risk score and without diabetes on an oral glucose tolerance test. The intervention group received a 12-month peer-support lifestyle intervention involving 15 group sessions delivered in community settings by trained lay peer leaders. There were also linked community activities to sustain behavior change. The control group received a booklet on lifestyle change. Costs were estimated from the health system and societal perspectives, with 2018 as the reference year. Effectiveness was measured in terms of the number of diabetes cases prevented and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Three times India's gross domestic product per capita (US$6108) was used as the cost-effectiveness threshold. The analyses were conducted with a 2-year time horizon. Costs and effects were discounted at 3% per annum. One-way and multi-way sensitivity analyses were performed. RESULTS:Baseline characteristics were similar in the two study groups. Over 2 years, the intervention resulted in an incremental health system cost of US$2.0 (intervention group: US$303.6; control group: US$301.6), incremental societal cost of US$6.2 (intervention group: US$367.8; control group: US$361.5), absolute risk reduction of 2.1%, and incremental QALYs of 0.04 per person. From a health system perspective, the cost per diabetes case prevented was US$95.2, and the cost per QALY gained was US$50.0. From a societal perspective, the corresponding figures were US$295.1 and US$155.0. For the number of diabetes cases prevented, the probability for the intervention to be cost-effective was 84.0% and 83.1% from the health system and societal perspectives, respectively. The corresponding figures for QALY gained were 99.1% and 97.8%. The results were robust to discounting and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS:A community-based peer-support lifestyle intervention was cost-effective in individuals at high risk of developing diabetes in India over 2 years. TRIAL REGISTRATION:The trial was registered with Australia and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ( ACTRN12611000262909 ). Registered 10 March 2011.
