Two-year results from a community-wide diabetes prevention intervention in a high risk indigenous community: The Ngati and Healthy project
Abstract
We describe changes in markers and prevalence of glucose metabolism disorders following a 2-year community-wide intervention aimed at reducing insulin resistance (IR) prevalence in a high risk community. Surveys were undertaken before and 2 years after implementation of a community developed and led diabetes prevention program. Proportions and means were calculated and compared by sex and age groups: 25-49 years and 50+ years. A process evaluation contributed to interpretation of results. Response rates were around 50% and demographic characteristics similar in both surveys. Overall, IR prevalence decreased markedly from 35.5% to 25.4% (p=0.003). Most changes were observed amongst 25-49 years old women for whom there was a significant change in prevalences of IR and glucose metabolism disorders (p=0.015), largely due to reduced IR prevalence (38.2-25.6%). In 2006, 60.3% achieved minimum recommended exercise levels and 65.4% ate wholegrain bread compared with 45.1% (p=0.002) and 42.2% (p=0.044), respectively, in 2003. Participation in a community diabetes prevention intervention appeared to reduce IR prevalence after 2 years in those with the highest level of participation and most marked lifestyle changes.

Fourteen articles were not included in the meta-analysis because they provided insufficient data for analyses or because they reported outcomes from a trial already included in the analysis but with data from other follow-up times.
“Fourteen articles were not included in the meta-analysis because they provided insufficient data for analyses (i.e., did not report SEs for outcomes and authors did not respond to requests for these data) (23–27) or because these articles reported outcomes from a trial already included in the analysis but with data from other follow-up times (28–36).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
