Study Finds Three Lifestyle Changes May Reduce Diabetes Risk by 31 Percent

A six-year European study involving 4,700 adults aged 55-75 with metabolic syndrome found that three lifestyle changes—adopting a Mediterranean-style diet, moderate calorie reduction, and regular physical activity—can reduce diabetes risk by up to 31%. The research, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine as part of the PREDIMED-Plus trial, highlights that small, sustainable diet and lifestyle adjustments may help prevent type 2 diabetes, especially among those with prediabetes or obesity. India faces a significant diabetes burden, with over 100 million affected and 136 million prediabetic individuals.
