Study: Walking, diet can dramatically reduce risk of diabetes.
Byline: Marian Uhlman
PHILADELPHIA _ Moderate exercise _ such as walking 30 minutes a day _ and changes in diet can dramatically reduce the chance of getting diabetes for those most at risk, a groundbreaking nationwide study reported yesterday.
The simple prescription offers a powerful antidote against the dramatic rise in Type 2 diabetes in the United States.
The study is the first major trial indicating that lifestyle changes can postpone Type 2 diabetes in a diverse American population of overweight people who are at high risk.
The study of 3,234 people at 27 centers, including Thomas Jefferson University, showed that the changes cut the disease risk by 58 percent _ and was nearly twice as effective as a drug used for comparison.
Being overweight is a major risk factor for developing Type 2 diabetes, and participants in the study shed on average 7 percent of their body weight _ about 15 pounds _ during the first year of the study. They maintained a 5 percent loss over the three-year period.
