Responses to lifestyle interventions among individuals with distinct pre-diabetes phenotypes: A systematic review and Meta-Analysis

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials

Authors' conclusion

LIs are effective for IGT (with or without IFG), but tailored LIs are needed for i-IFG to prevent diabetes.

Study context

Population
Adults with i-IFG, i-IGT or IFG + IGT in RCTs of lifestyle interventions (LIs) (diet and/or physical activity); databases searched until December 6th, 202327 studies
Comparison
Lifestyle interventions by pre-diabetes phenotype
Outcome
Diabetes incidence with LIs, by phenotype (10 studies with stratified analyses)
Methodological detailsrandom-effects meta-analysis

Further pooled results

Studies using IGT for recruitment (20 studies)

LIs significantly decreased diabetes incidence, increased normoglycemia incidence, and improved fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2 h-PG, fasting insulin (FI) and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)
