Implication

Comparative analysis reveals declining long-term efficacy of lifestyle and drug interventions for diabetes prevention in at-risk adults, indicating a need for strategies to preserve benefits.

Key Points

To evaluate and compare the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of lifestyle modification interventions versus pharmacotherapy in reducing diabetes incidence among adults at risk.
Assessed diabetes incidence reduction following lifestyle modification (LSM) interventions in at-risk adult populations.
Evaluated the duration and sustainability of pharmacotherapy effects, specifically weight loss and insulin-sensitizing agents, compared to lifestyle approaches.
Both lifestyle modifications and pharmacotherapy (weight loss and insulin-sensitizing medications) successfully reduced diabetes incidence in high-risk individuals.
Medication benefits were short-lived, whereas lifestyle modification effects persisted for several years before gradually declining over time.
