Introduction: Lifestyle interventions can prevent the deterioration of impaired glucose tolerance to manifest type 2 diabetes, and also prevent cardiovascular diseases, as it showed many studies (the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study, Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), the China Da Qing Diabetes Prevention Study, etc.) Therefore, the aim of our study was to compare the effect of intensified life style intervention on cardiometabolic parameters. Methods: It is ongoing randomized interventional clinical study (NCT02325804) focused on reduction of body weight/fat. Intervention: hypocaloric diet (30% restriction of calories) and physical activity 150minutes/week. Before and after 8 weeks of intervention, all patients underwent complete medical examination (measurement of physical fitness, resting metabolic rate (RMR), body composition analysis, oral glucose tolerance test, parameters of lipid metabolism, and other cardiometabolic risk factors. Results: So far, 39 patients finished the intervention. The average reduction of body weight was 6, 8+4, 9kg (0-15kg; p=0.0006), accompanied with significant reduction of body fat percentage (pâ�?¤0.0001), amount of fat mass (p=0.03), waist circumference (p=0.02). Amount of lean mass and RMR remained unchanged. Her rate (p=0.02), systolic and diastolic blood pressure was reduced (p=0.01 p=0.02 resp.) as well as insulin sensitivity were improved. Lipid parameters also changed cholesterol, LDL decreased (p=0.05, p=0.04 resp.), while triglycerides showed tendency to decrease (p=0.055). Liver function improved, alanine aminotrasnferase (ALT) were reduced (p=0.01). Physical fitness significantly improved (as measure VO2 max (p=0.02). Conclusion: Results of our study are in line of previous results about beneficial effect of intensive life style changes on reduction of cardiometabolic risk factors and improvement of liver function.
