Summary:
In prediabetic adults in Kenya, comprehensive interventions targeting glucose, weight, blood pressure, lipids, and lifestyle factors significantly address cardiometabolic abnormalities and reduce risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and premature mortality
compared to no or standard care, though they require multifactorial adherence and management of multiple risk factors.
| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | Adults with prediabetes in Kenya exhibiting a high clustering of cardiometabolic risk factors. |
| Intervention | Comprehensive interventions addressing glucose regulation, body weight, blood pressure, lipid profile, and lifestyle modifications. |
| Comparison | Standard care or no targeted multifactorial interventions for cardiometabolic risk factors. |
| Outcome | Reduction in cardiometabolic risk markers and consequent lower risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and premature mortality highlighting the importance of multifactorial management. |
