Orchard, et al., Ann Int Med ,142(8) 611-619, 2005
In the DPP, an investigation was done to examine
the impact of change in weight and activity on risk of developing diabetes among lifestyle participants.*
• Weight change significantly predicted the reduction in diabetes incidence (for every kg of weight, there was a 16% reduction in risk).
• Achieving the PA goal but not weight loss goal resulted in a 46% reduction in diabetes. PA was also important for weight loss.

• Designed to incorporate an objective measure of physical activity and sedentary time as part of the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study (DPPOS)
• Conducted at 23 of 26 DPP sites
• Open to all DPPOS participants who were not confined to a wheelchair, able to walk, and without significant cognitive impairment (per clinic staff)
Grant: NIDDK 5R01DK081345-03
Accelerometer
• Measures all intensities of movement throughout the day:–Inactivity – Sitting time–Light Activity–Moderate Activity–Vigorous Activity
• Best at capturing activities that resemble walking (and running)

So what do we know….
• We can prevent diabetes with lifestyle intervention
• Physical activity is a critical component of this intervention effort
So how about translation?
• Can we take this behavioral lifestyle intervention into the community and get successful results?

Reporting of Physical Activity in DPP Community Translation Efforts
• Systematic Review of 71 articles representing 57 DPP Translation Studies
• 100% include PA as a primary intervention goal
• 82% report how PA was assessed (predominantly self-report, subjective measures)
• 60% report PA-related outcomes (most often percent of participants meeting goal)

Do 150 minutes (2½ hours) of moderate intensive physical activity
per week
♦♦ Aerobic activity (similar to a brisk walk) is the foundation activity
♦♦ Try to spread out over at least 3 days a week
♦♦ Do for at least 10 minutes at a time
♦♦ Intensity should be similar to a brisk walk

Lessons Learned
• Both efficacy trials, including the DPP, and effectiveness trials (like our GLB efforts in the community) suggest that we can increase participants’ PA levels
• DPP and GLB provide evidence that this improvement in PA levels may have a significant impact on health outcomes.

Strength is clinically important…
• Biological aging: lose strength and lean body mass
• Strategies to maintain muscular strength enhance mobility and functional independence further into old age are important
Slides: Marni Armstrong
RCT evidence
• In a systematic review (n=7) all but one study reported strength improvements of at least 50% after completing resistance training in people with type 2 diabetes. Gordon, Diab Res Clin Prac. 2009;83(2):157-17
• Meta-analysis (n=4) reported 0.57% reduction in HbA1c in studies where resistance training alone was compared against a control. Umpierre, JAMA, 2011; 305, (17); 1790-99

Rockette-Wagner et al., Diabetalogia 2015 Jun;58(6):1198-202
• The risk of developing diabetes increased 3.4% with each hour per day of reported TV watching; controlling for sex, age, and reported leisure activity (p <0.05)
• This risk was attenuated to 2.1% (ns.) when also controlling for weight.

Gaps in Knowledge Leading to Next Steps
Specifically, what if we replaced the goal of increasing moderate PA levels with sitting less in community lifestyle intervention programs in diverse settings?
Would we still see significant changes in weight loss and diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk factors?
What about sedentary behavior?
