Abstract in brief

The systematic review and meta-analysis of seven randomized controlled trials involving over 4,000 people found that lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, increased physical activity, and healthier diets low in saturated fats and high in fiber, can reduce the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) by about 53%.
The evidence indicates that T2D is preventable through these lifestyle modifications, and the risk reduction remains significant for many years after the active interventions, especially with healthy diets like the Mediterranean pattern.
However, there is limited or incomplete data on whether preventing T2D through lifestyle changes also lowers the risk of long-term complications of the disease.
