Delaying Diabetes by Four Years Significantly Improves Long-Term Health

New study shows that lifestyle changes can reduce mortality and cardiovascular risks for prediabetic individuals.

Research indicates that delaying diabetes onset for four years lowers the risk of death and cardiovascular events.
Participants in the study followed a healthy diet, exercised more, or both to delay diabetes.
The protective effect was not observed in individuals who delayed diabetes for less than four years.
The study followed 540 prediabetic individuals for over 30 years, showing long-term health benefits.
Experts suggest implementing lifestyle interventions as part of diabetes prevention strategies.
