For adults with prediabetes, lifestyle intervention lowered risk of developing multiple chronic conditions

For adults with prediabetes, lifestyle intervention lowered risk of developing multiple chronic conditions A clinical trial supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that adults with prediabetes assigned to a lifestyle intervention had a significantly lower risk of developing multiple chronic health conditions (known as multimorbidity) over time than those assigned to a placebo. This study, which followed participants for over two decades, also found that participants assigned to receive metformin did not experience a statistically significant reduction in multimorbidity risk. The findings, published in JAMA, highlight the lasting benefits of lifestyle programs that may lower risk of the development of chronic conditions. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/adults-prediabetes-lifestyle-intervention-lowered-risk-developing-multiple-chronic-conditions
