Lifestyle Program Reduces Multiple Chronic Disease Risk in Prediabetes Patients

A 21-year study from the Diabetes Prevention Program found that an intensive lifestyle intervention significantly lowered the risk of developing multiple chronic conditions simultaneously in adults with prediabetes. The lifestyle group experienced a 21% reduced risk of multimorbidity over two decades compared to a placebo. Notably, metformin, a commonly prescribed medication, did not demonstrate the same broad protective effect.
