We examined the effects of a digitally delivered, type 2 diabetes mellitus prevention program (DPP) for a low-income population.
We conducted a nonrandomized clinical trial with matched controls. The intervention group was offered a digital DPP, a web-based and mobile-based program including 52 weeks of participation in an educational curriculum, health coaching, and peer support.
A total of 227 participants enrolled. At baseline, 34.6 was the mean body mass index, and 5.8 was the mean HbA. For the intervention group, mean weight loss was 4.4% at the 12-month follow-up.
The modified DPP successfully engaged participants and resulted in weight loss. Low-income patients with prediabetes benefitted from a digitally delivered diabetes intervention. This prevention method should be accessible to a low-income population.
我们研究了一种针对低收入人群的、数字化的 2 型糖尿病预防计划(DPP)的效果。
我们进行了一项非随机临床试验,并设置了对照组。干预组提供了一个数字 DPP,这是一个基于网络和移动的计划,包括 52 周的教育课程、健康指导和同伴支持。
共有 227 名参与者入组。在基线时,参与者的平均体重指数为 34.6,平均 HbA1c 为 5.8。对于干预组,在 12 个月的随访中,平均体重减轻了 4.4%。
改良的 DPP 成功地吸引了参与者,并导致体重减轻。患有糖尿病前期的低收入患者受益于数字化的糖尿病干预。这种预防方法应该能够为低收入人群所接受。
