The intensive lifestyle intervention of the DPP (Diabetes Prevention Program) showed weight loss to be a dominant predictor of reduced diabetes incidence for those at high risk for the disease. The intensive lifestyle intervention of Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) has also shown that weight loss is associated with improved diabetes control and cardiovascular risk factors and reduced medicine for those with the disease. DPP and Look AHEAD implemented the use of motivational incentives and campaigns to assist participants in their commitment to lifestyle change. Other studies have also used incentives as effective strategies to engage individuals in weight loss and in making positive physical activity and dietary changes. Special consideration should be given to implementing various incentive strategies to assist overweight and obese individuals with weight loss. Using these motivational incentive strategies can be an effective means to help individuals succeed with their weight loss efforts.
糖尿病预防计划（DPP）的强化生活方式干预表明，体重减轻是该疾病高危人群糖尿病发病率降低的主要预测因素。糖尿病健康行动（Look AHEAD）的强化生活方式干预也表明，体重减轻与糖尿病控制改善、心血管危险因素降低以及糖尿病患者用药减少有关。DPP和Look AHEAD实施了激励措施和宣传活动，以帮助参与者坚持生活方式改变。其他研究也将激励措施作为促使个人减肥以及做出积极的体育活动和饮食改变的有效策略。应特别考虑实施各种激励策略，以帮助超重和肥胖个体减肥。使用这些激励策略可能是帮助个人减肥成功的有效手段。
