ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of comprehensive intervention on the diabetes-relevant behaviors in aging patients with prediabetes in rural areas of Yiyang.Methods:The aging patients with prediabetes in rural areas of Yiyang were chosen and asked for the questionnaire.The patients were randomly divided into two groups:the control group and the intervention group.The control group received the routine health education,while the intervention group underwent comprehensive intervention for one year.6 months and 12 months before the intervention or after the intervention,the behavior characteristics of diabetes,levels of related physiological and biochemical indexes were evaluated.Results:The relative behavior characteristics of diabetes,levels of related physiological and biochemical indexes between the two groups were comparable before the intervention (P＞0.05).6 months or 12 months after the intervention,it showed improvements in diabetes-related behaviors (P＜0.05) and the scores of diabetes-related behaviors compared with the control group (P＜0.001).Based on the related physiological and biochemical indexes,the intervention group showed significant reductions in the levels of waist-to-hip ratio,BMI,fasting plasma glucose and 2 h postprandial plasma glucose (P＜0.01).Conclusion:The comprehensive intervention can improve the diabetes-relevant behaviors,physiological and biochemical indexes in the older patients with pre-diabetes.
