Reducing Cardiometabolic Risk and Promoting Functional Health in Community-based Elders With Obesity and Pre-diabetes: Evaluating Sustainable DPP Follow-up Strategies
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating DPP Intensive: 30-minute calls and DPP Support: 15-minute calls for Obesity and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 314 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Obesity and pre-diabetes threatens the overall health and functional independence of older adults but lifestyle weight management for diabetes prevention, soon to be reimbursed by Medicare, can reduce this burden. The current 24-month study will enroll adults, ages 60 and older, through senior community centers and research registries. The investigators will study how two long term weight loss maintenance programs, both using group telephone sessions to support health behavior change, impact meaningful health outcomes. If successful, this project will provide a sustainable intervention model for healthy aging services that can benefit older adults and society.
