Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of the present study was to investigate effects of a family and community-based diabetes prevention program on weight, diabetes rate, and medical costs. The goal of this campaign was to lose 3 kg of body weight over 3 months from November to February. During this period, 47 shops supported the campaign in various ways. Of 9,996 community dwelling people, 429 subjects (male: 38.9%, mean age: 60 ± 10 years, mean BMI: 25.9 ± 2.3 kg/㎡) participated in the program. After 1-year intervention, body weight and serum triglycerides levees in the intervention group were significantly lower compared with the control group. After the intervention, diabetes rate was gradually decreased and medical costs per person was lower than in surrounding areas.
