Relationships organized using the Dediabetes Evidence Intelligence™ framework.
HbA1c have the strongest available evidence signals for Behavioral & Lifestyle.
ConsistencyScore™: Results are consistent across studies.
Ranked evidence signals
HbA1c
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 87.4 | strong positive | ConsistencyScore™ Consistent | 42 studies
Why this answer: This answer is cautious because the available studies report mixed findings.
HbA1c, Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG), and Body weight are among the most studied areas in relation to Behavioral & Lifestyle.
ConsistencyScore™: Consistency cannot yet be determined from the available evidence.
Ranked evidence signals
HbA1c
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 87.4 | strong positive | ConsistencyScore™ Consistent | 169 studies
Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 87.1 | moderate positive | ConsistencyScore™ Mixed | 45 studies
Body weight
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 84.2 | neutral | ConsistencyScore™ Consistent | 46 studies
Why this answer: This answer is cautious because the available studies report mixed findings.
Results are mixed or unclear for HbA1c, Mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), and BMI in relation to Behavioral & Lifestyle.
ConsistencyScore™: Results are mixed and should be interpreted cautiously.
Ranked evidence signals
Type 2 diabetes incidence
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 87.9 | moderate positive | ConsistencyScore™ Mixed | 10 studies
Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 87.1 | moderate positive | ConsistencyScore™ Mixed | 13 studies
Triglycerides
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 79.0 | neutral | ConsistencyScore™ Mixed | 5 studies
Why this answer: This answer is cautious because the available studies report mixed findings.
Body Mass Index (BMI) change, Cholesterol reduction, and Reduction in HbA1c levels in MASH responders need more research in relation to Behavioral & Lifestyle.
ConsistencyScore™: Consistency cannot yet be determined from the available evidence.
Ranked evidence signals
Body Mass Index (BMI) change
EvidenceScore™ Emerging | EvidenceScore™ 59.0 | strong positive | ConsistencyScore™ Unclear | 1 study
Cholesterol reduction
EvidenceScore™ Emerging | EvidenceScore™ 59.0 | neutral | ConsistencyScore™ Unclear | 1 study
Reduction in HbA1c levels in MASH responders
EvidenceScore™ Emerging | EvidenceScore™ 59.0 | neutral | ConsistencyScore™ Unclear | 1 study
Why this answer: This answer is based on a single supporting study.
Limitations
HbA1c and Type 2 diabetes incidence have available evidence for Behavioral & Lifestyle, but the comparison requires review of the underlying studies.
ConsistencyScore™: Results are consistent across studies.
Ranked evidence signals
Type 2 diabetes incidence
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 87.9 | moderate positive | ConsistencyScore™ Mixed | 8 studies
HbA1c
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 87.4 | strong positive | ConsistencyScore™ Consistent | 17 studies
Why this answer: This answer is cautious because the available studies report mixed findings.
