Population and applicability
Structured population data were available for 3 of 3 supporting studies. 3 studies described adult participants.
This population information refers to the materialized supporting studies available for review. Omitted support records remain part of the authoritative support accounting and are available through the audit experience.
View reported population descriptions
These descriptions are reported across the supporting studies; they are not a single synthesized population.
- Older (60±5 yrs), overweight (BMI 33±4 kg/m²) adults with prediabetes (IFG, IGT, or combined IFG/IGT)
- Predominantly non-Hispanic White
- 25-39.9
- Mean BMI was in the obese range
- Mean waist circumference indicated visceral obesity
- Prediabetes
- Impaired fasting glucose 95-125 mg/dL and/or impaired glucose tolerance 2-hour glucose 140-199 mg/dL
- Most participants had isolated IFG or combined IFG/IGT
- Sedentary overweight or obese adults with prediabetes, mostly female and White, recruited from the Roanoke, Virginia area.
- Adults who have undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.
- Individuals seeking to manage weight post-surgery through exercise.
Limitations
- Upstream consistency scoring indicates mixed findings across the evidence.
- 1 supporting study does not have a displayable topic-matched quantitative effect.
- Evidence uses heterogeneous comparison contexts: other, usual_care.
- 2 supporting studies have high, serious, critical, unclear, or unavailable risk-of-bias information.
- 1 study contains conflicting p-value and significance fields; those significance claims are suppressed.
