Abstract

Background. It is hypothesized that normal weight individuals develop diabetes through different pathophysiological mechanisms and that methods of prevention may differ in the absence of overweight/obesity. In this study, we compared the effect of lifestyle health coaching (LHC) on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in normal weight, overweight, and obese US adults with prediabetes. Methods. Subjects were 1358 individuals who completed baseline and follow-up evaluations as part of an LHC program (follow-up = ~6 months). Participants were stratified, based on baseline body mass index (BMI), into normal weight (n = 129), overweight (n = 345), and obese (n = 884) cohorts. LHC included counseling, predominantly via telehealth, on exercise and nutrition. Results. BMI decreased (P <.001) in the overweight and obese participants but was unchanged in the normal weight participants. FPG decreased (P <.001) in all 3 cohorts, and the magnitude of decrease did not differ significantly among cohorts. FPG decreased to <5.6 mmol/L in 58.1%, 49.3%, and 41.4% of the normal weight, overweight, and obese participants, respectively. Conclusions. To our knowledge, this study is the first outside of Asia to show that LHC is as effective in managing FPG in normal weight adults with prediabetes versus those who are overweight/obese.

18. Clinical Effectiveness of Lifestyle Health Coaching: Case Study of an Evidence-Based Program.

Abstract

We have developed, tested, and successfully implemented an affordable, evidence-based, technologyenabled, data-driven, outcomesoriented, comprehensive lifestyle health coaching (LHC) program. The LHC program has been used primarily to provide services to employees of larger employers (ie, with at least 3000 employees) but has also been implemented in a variety of other settings, including hospitals, cardiac rehabilitation centers, physician practices, and as part of multicenter clinical trials. The program is delivered mainly using the telephone and Internet. Health coaches are guided by a Webbased participant management and tracking system. Lifestyle management interventions are based on several behavior change models and strategies, especially adult learning theory, social learning theory, the stages of change model, single concept learning theory, and motivational interviewing. The program is administered by nonphysician health professionals whose services are integrated with the care provided by participants' physicians. Outcomes data from published studies, including randomized clinical trials and independent third-party conducted research, have documented the clinical effectiveness of this evidence-based approach in terms of modification of multiple risk factors in healthy persons as well as those with certain common chronic diseases.
