ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Evaluate the effect of a digital Diabetes Prevention Program (dDPP) on chronic disease risk factors in a workplace population.METHODS:
dDPP participants were employees and spouses with BMI ≥ 24âkg/m and prediabetes or diabetes (nâ=â84). Annual change in risk factors before and after dDPP were assessed in the dDPP group and in a retrospectively identified matched control group drawn from those who participated in a dDPP after the conclusion of this study (nâ=â252).RESULTS:
In the dDPP group, body weight, BMI, fasting glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol decreased in the post-dDPP period compared with the pre-dDPP period (Pâ<â0.05). In the control group, no difference between the annual change before and after dDPP was observed (Pâ>â0.37).CONCLUSION:
The dDPP was effective in reducing risk factors for chronic disease in a workplace setting.
