Proximate determinants of tuberculosis in Indigenous peoples worldwide: a systematic review
2019, The Lancet Global HealthCitation Excerpt :Programmes generally focused on promoting healthy lifestyles through diet and exercise in communities known to be at risk of diabetes. Overall, although generally well accepted by the communities involved, the reported effectiveness of the programmes was variable (appendix).48,102–109 A randomised trial by Thompson and colleagues110 looked at the effect of a diabetes prevention programme for Native American women, comprising regular discussion sessions focusing on healthy diet and physical activity; after 4 years this programme yielded no significant change in BMI, insulin sensitivity, and diabetes compared with the control group.However, community classes in New Zealand focusing on cooking skills, exercise, and smoking cessation were associated with a significant decrease in the prevalence of diabetes over 3 years (from 12·6% to 10·6%, p=0·003).48
