Trial Outcomes & Findings for Diabetes Prevention Translation: the Healthy Lifestyle Project (NCT NCT01050205)

NCT ID: NCT01050205

Last Updated: 2017-08-25

Results Overview

Weight was measured twice using a digital physician's scale (DETECTO® PD100) placed on a hard, flat surface. Participants were asked to remove their shoes and stand in the middle of the scale with eyes straight forward and without touching any surface. The participant was asked to step down from the scale between measures. If the measures were more than 0.5 pounds apart, a third measure was taken. Weight is reported in pounds.

Current Intervention
At enrollment, participants randomly assigned to "Current Intervention" will receive the intervention immediately.The intervention is based on the Diabetes Prevention Program's successful lifestyle intervention with goals of achieving a 7% weight loss, and progressively increasing physical activity to 150 minutes per week of moderately intense physical activity.Participants will choose one of the following interventions: GLB-GROUP: Individuals who choose group delivery will attend weekly in-person group meetings for 12 weeks, then transition to bi-weekly and monthly meetings. GLB-DVD: Consists of a series of taped sessions of a staged GLB group following a script which was developed to closely follow the original Group Lifestyle Balance. Participants in GLB-DVD will also be invited to attend monthly group meetings and will receive weekly telephone calls from a trained coach.
Delayed Intervention
At enrollment, participants randomly assigned to "Delayed intervention" will receive the intervention in 6 months. The intervention is identical to that received by participants assigned to the Current Intervention Arm and is based on the Diabetes Prevention Program's successful lifestyle intervention with goals of achieving a 7% weight loss, and progressively increasing physical activity to 150 minutes per week of moderately intense physical activity.Participants will choose one of the following interventions: GLB-GROUP: Individuals who choose group delivery will attend weekly in-person group meetings for 12 weeks, then transition to bi-weekly and monthly meetings.

Population: Intent to treat using last observation carried forward when data are missing. Individuals with medication changes related to the outcome were excluded from analysis.

After the participant signed the consent, they were taken to the private phlebotomy area. The participant sat in a stationary chair and placed their arm of choice for the blood draw flat on the table, on top of the BloodBloc pad. The participant was asked the last time they had anything to eat or drink, including candy, mint, gum, cough drops, cough syrup, coffee or tea, (participants were expected to fast for 8-12 hours prior to their assessment visit). If the participant had anything to eat or drink, other than water, the blood draw was rescheduled. The fasting blood sample was analyzed by Quest Diagnostics™ laboratory for the worksite and community/senior centers.

Blood pressure was measured in the right arm with the participant seated comfortably with the right arm resting on a table. All participants were asked to rest quietly with feet flat on the floor for five minutes. Following the five minute wait, the radial pulse was measured in the right arm and pulse obliteration level was assessed. The cuff was inflated to the peak inflation rate and the pressure released at a rate of 2mm/Hg per second. First appearance and last heard (phase V) Korotkoff's sounds were utilized to determine systolic and diastolic blood pressure respectively. The cuffed arm was then raised for 5 seconds after each inflation with a wait period of 30 seconds between each blood pressure reading. Blood pressure was repeated twice with the average computed. If it was not possible to measure blood pressure in the right arm, the left arm was utilized and noted in the participant record.

The participant was asked stand with feet together. The waist was measured using a cloth measuring tape around the abdomen. The midpoints were marked horizontally at midpoint between highest point of the iliac crest and lowest part of the costal margin in the mid-axillary line. Both sides of the waist were marked using a cosmetic pencil. The participant was asked to have arms at side and to breathe in, out and hold, and then the measurement was taken. Waist measurement was recorded to the nearest quarter inch. The measure was repeated twice. If waist measures differ by more than one-half inch, a third measurement was recorded.

At enrollment, participants randomly assigned to "Current Intervention" will receive the intervention immediately.The intervention is based on the Diabetes Prevention Program's successful lifestyle intervention with goals of achieving a 7% weight loss, and progressively increasing physical activity to 150 minutes per week of moderately intense physical activity.Participants will choose one of the following interventions: GLB-GROUP: Individuals who choose group delivery will attend weekly in-person group meetings for 12 weeks, then transition to bi-weekly and monthly meetings. GLB-DVD: Consists of a series of taped sessions of a staged GLB group following a script which was developed to closely follow the original Group Lifestyle Balance. Participants in GLB-DVD will also be invited to attend monthly group meetings and will receive weekly telephone calls from a trained coach.
Delayed Intervention
n=75 Participants
At enrollment, participants randomly assigned to "Delayed intervention" will receive the intervention in 6 months. The intervention is identical to that received by participants assigned to the Current Intervention Arm and is based on the Diabetes Prevention Program's successful lifestyle intervention with goals of achieving a 7% weight loss, and progressively increasing physical activity to 150 minutes per week of moderately intense physical activity.Participants will choose one of the following interventions: GLB-GROUP: Individuals who choose group delivery will attend weekly in-person group meetings for 12 weeks, then transition to bi-weekly and monthly meetings. GLB-DVD: Consists of a series of taped sessions of a staged GLB group following a script which was developed to closely follow the original Group Lifestyle Balance.

Changes in Waist Circumference Between Baseline and Post-intervention (Assessed at 6 Months After Commencement of Intervention) Compared to Delayed Intervention Participants.
-1.5 inches
Standard Deviation 2.0
-0.05 inches
Standard Deviation 1.8

Timeframe: Baseline and post-intervention (assessed at 6 months after commencement of intervention)

Population: Intent to treat using last observation carried forward when data are missing.

The Modifiable Activity Questionnaire (MAQ) was designed by Dr. Kriska. It has been used to assess activity in a variety of populations and age groups over various time frames and was used to assess physical activity levels in the DPP. The MAQ includes both a leisure and an occupational activity section since the homogeneity of energy expenditure related to both of these components of activity within many study populations cannot be assumed. In addition, the MAQ was designed to be modified, based upon pilot testing, prior to its usage, in order to maximize the feasibility and appropriateness of the physical activity instrument to the population of interest. The MAQ has been shown to be both reliable and valid (through comparisons with activity monitors, fitness (field) testing, and the doubly labeled water technique) in adults and adolescents alike. The MAQ has been used to assess a variety of time frames from past year and past week to a lifetime of activity.

Changes in Self-reported Physical Activity Between Baseline and Post-intervention (Assessed at 6 Months After Commencement of Intervention) Compared to Delayed Intervention Participants.
13 MET-hrs leisure activity
Interval 2.6 to 28.2
6.6 MET-hrs leisure activity
Interval -0.7 to 17.4

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and post-intervention (assessed at 6 months after commencement of intervention)

Population: Intent to treat using last observation carried forward when data are missing. Individuals with medication changes related to the outcome were excluded from analysis.

Blood pressure was measured in the right arm with the participant seated comfortably with the right arm resting on a table. All participants were asked to rest quietly with feet flat on the floor for five minutes. Following the five minute wait, the radial pulse was measured in the right arm and pulse obliteration level was assessed. The cuff was inflated to the peak inflation rate and the pressure released at a rate of 2mm/Hg per second. First appearance and last heard (phase V) Korotkoff's sounds were utilized to determine systolic and diastolic blood pressure respectively. The cuffed arm was then raised for 5 seconds after each inflation with a wait period of 30 seconds between each blood pressure reading. Blood pressure was repeated twice with the average computed. If it was not possible to measure blood pressure in the right arm, the left arm was utilized and noted in the participant record.
