THE SUCCESS OF LIFESTYLE INTERVENTION IN THE WAR AGAINST DIABETES & HEART DISEASE: FROM RESEARCH TO THE COMMUNITYEvidence that lifestyle intervention can prevent the development of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome was demonstrated in the highly successful Diabetes Prevention Program or DPP. The challenge then became to translate this effective behavioral intervention utilized in the DPP to the “real world” so that the maximal number of those at risk can benefit.

Dr. Kriska was part of the original DPP lifestyle intervention team and is now involved in the translation of the DPP’s successful behavioral intervention into diverse community settings. This presentation will discuss key components of the lifestyle intervention and lessons learned along the way including discussion of the benefit of decreasing sedentary behavior (sitting) on health.
