preventative, behavioral, exercise and dietaryAbstract
Diabetes prevalence is at an alarming level. It is predicted that
one in ten adults will have the condition by 2030 compared
with one in eleven at present.1
Despite several global calls for action to reverse such a trend, the number of people with diabetes
and associated lifestyle diseases continues to rise leading to significant health burdens, morbidity and premature mortality.2
Such
challenge makes it crucial to adopt immediate preventative policies
which embed effective lifestyle diabetes interventions, especially
those integrating multi-components interventions.
