Effects of a Community-Based Healthy Lifestyle Intervention Program (Co-HELP) Among Adults With Prediabetes in a Developing Country : A Quasi-Experimental Study

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes among Malaysian adults has increased by more than two folds over the past two decades. Strategies to collaborate with the existing community partners may become a promising channel for wide-scale dissemination of diabetes prevention in the country. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of community-based lifestyle interventions delivered to adults with prediabetes and their health-related quality of life as compared to the usual care group.
