The Effects of a Health Partner Program on Reducing Cardiovascular Risk Factors.
Western Journal of Nursing Research 2018 April
Previous lifestyle intervention research targeting prediabetes has primarily focused on weight loss, blood glucose, and lipid abnormalities. Far less is known whether lifestyle interventions lower other biological and physical risk factors for cardiovascular disease in overweight/obese adults with or without prediabetes. The aim of the study was to determine if a health partner program reduced biological and physical cardiovascular risk factors in overweight/obese adults with and without prediabetes at 1 year. A secondary data analysis was performed using the Center for Health Discovery and Well Being database at Emory University in the United States. A total of 246 (30 prediabetics and 216 non-prediabetics) were included in the analysis. At the 1-year follow-up, compared with non-prediabetics, prediabetics had significant improvements in body mass index, fasting blood glucose, and insulin resistance. Prediabetics also had higher increases in cardiorespiratory fitness. However, the methodological limitations and predominately high socioeconomic status level prevent definitive conclusions and generalizations.
