Lifestyle in Turkish-Background Diabetics

NCT03281616 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 110

Summary

Background: Life-style interventions are indicated in patients with metabolic syndrome and/or type 2 diabetes. However, cultural differences are substantial confounders to not only compliance, but also whether or not the interventions are offered in the first place. In Germany, the large Turkish-background minority has a particularly high incidence of type 2 diabetes, but there is no recorded evidence of a life-style intervention in this patient group.

Objective: The investigators tested the body weight-reducing effect of a 30% calorie-reduced diet, adjusted to individual eating habits and preferences regarding quality and resources of food in a Turkish-background cohort.
