Key result
Achieving 4 or more Life's Simple 7 goals was associated with a lower risk of incident type 2 diabetes among American Indians compared to achieving 0-1 goals (OR 0.11; 95% CI 0.05-0.21).

Supports targeted prevention in American Indians; extends Life's Simple 7 evidence but remains hypothesis-generating.
Cohort (n=1,639)
Does achieving more Life's Simple 7 goals reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes in American Indians?
Odds Ratio: 0.11 (95% CI 0.05–0.21)
Adherence to Life's Simple 7 cardiovascular health metrics is strongly associated with a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes in American Indians.
Fretts et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Type 2 diabetes (n=1,639). Life's Simple 7 goals (4+ goals) vs. 0-1 goals was evaluated on Incident type 2 diabetes (OR 0.11, 95% CI 0.05-0.21). Achieving 4 or more Life's Simple 7 goals was associated with a lower risk of incident type 2 diabetes among American Indians compared to achieving 0-1 goals (OR 0.11; 95% CI 0.05-0.21).
