“…Of these, 11 papers describing 10 studies (i.e., one study provided a 2-year follow-up analysis, which was published separately) translated the DPP to the workplace [38–44, 45•, 46, 47•, 48], while 3 studies utilized alternative strategies to prevent T2DM among their employee population [49–51]. Most studies ( n = 11) were offered by US employers; one was offered by a German employer [48] and one was offered by a Finnish employer [51]. Among these studies were two randomized controlled trials with individual-level randomization [40, 45•], one non-randomized controlled trial [41], one cluster randomized controlled trial [43], three single group time series studies [38, 42, 49], two single-group pre-post studies [44, 47•], one multi-group pre-post study [46], and three longitudinal cohort studies [48, 50, 51].…”

Workplace Interventions to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: a Narrative Review

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose of review This study aims to summarize the recent peer-reviewed literature on workplace interventions for prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), including studies that translate the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) curriculum to workplace settings (n = 10) and those that use different intervention approaches to achieve the specific objective of T2DM prevention among employees (n = 3). Recent findings Weight reduction was achieved through workplace interventions to prevent T2DM, though such interventions varied substantially in their effectiveness. The greatest weight loss was reported among intensive lifestyle interventions (i.e., at least 4 months in duration) that implemented the structured DPP curriculum (n = 3). Weight reduction was minimal among less intensive interventions, including those that substantially modified the DPP curriculum (n = 2) and those that used non-DPP intervention approaches to prevent T2DM (n = 3). Most studies (n = 12) reported increased levels of physical activity following the intervention. Summary Implementation of the DPP in workplaces may be an effective strategy to prevent T2DM among employees.

“…Discrepancy in opinion was discussed and no third party was required in the process of study selection. Fulltexts were sought and read for all articles that met the inclusion criteria (except one study that was unavailable in full text 4 . In the case of duplicate reports related to the same study, both articles were evaluated to extract the maximum amount of information.…”

“…Two studies contacted a pre-defined group of people at risk: one at worksite, where all employees who had above average waist circumference were invited for screening 4 , and in the other study 5 all eligible subjects with high risk for glucose intolerance from a cohort representing general population were contacted. The only study contacted 70 % 6 of the target population for selective screening either by mail or by appointment.…”

The epidemic of obesity and diabetes in the United States poses major challenge to the prevention and management of chronic diseases. Furthermore, when this is viewed in other components of the metabolic syndrome (i.e., the burden of high cholesterol and hypertension), the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome continues to rise in the USA continued challenge is how to deal with this epidemic from a medical and public health standpoint. Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is a unique approach and offers a novel perspective for answering this challenge. A critical set of goals for CBPR is to address health disparities and social inequalities while getting community members engaged in all aspects of the research process. Utilizing the West Virginia Diabetes Prevention and Management Program and trained Health Coaches as a model, we discuss topics of consideration related to CBPR, involving trained health coaches, optimizing early adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors, and enhancing participation. Through careful project planning and design, questions regarding disparities increasing susceptibility and preventive efforts within the community can be addressed successfully. These topics are part of a broader integration of theories such as participatory research, community engagement, and outcomes measurement. The understanding of the pathophysiology and epidemiology of the metabolic syndrome can help frame an appropriate strategy for establishing long-term community-wide changes that promote health. In order to continue to improve investigations for preventing the metabolic syndrome, it will be necessary to have aggressive efforts at the individual and population level for developing culturally sensitive programs that start early and are sustainable in practical environments such as the workplace. In this comprehensive review, we will discuss practical considerations related to project design, implementation, and how to measure effectiveness in regards to reducing the burden of the metabolic syndrome.
