Summary

Given the extremely high incidence of diabetes in Arab women and the current lack of interventions, all non-diabetic women can be considered "at risk" and warrant secondary prevention. Creating an effective community-based primary and secondary diabetes prevention program has the potential for nationwide reduction of health disparities for Arab women.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a lifestyle intervention in reducing risky health behaviors and thus reducing modifiable risk factors associated with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, through dietary modification, adherence to healthy low-caloric, low-fat diet and engaging in physical activity.
