Lifestyle modifications are increasingly being integrated into cardiovascular risk programs to help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in individuals with prediabetes and diabetes. Monitoring prediabetes within these programs may aid in identifying factors that influence either disease progression or reversal. In one such initiative, researchers assessed the impact of engaging in more than 150 minutes of physical activity per week among individuals with prediabetes (mean age: 69.5 years) enrolled in a cardiovascular risk program.
Over a 366-day follow-up period, participants who maintained this level of physical activity were 4.15 times more likely to reverse prediabetes to normoglycemia. However, multivariable analysis showed that having an HbA1c ≥ 6.0% and a BMI ≥ 25 reduced the likelihood of reversal by 86% and 75%, respectively. These findings highlight the importance of…
