ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how lifestyle changes, like eating healthier and exercising more, can affect the aging process in older adults in Saudi Arabia who have prediabetes. Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. The researchers want to see if making these lifestyle changes for six months can improve certain biological markers that indicate aging and health, potentially helping to reduce complications from prediabetes.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be Saudi adults aged 30 and older who have been diagnosed with prediabetes and are able to follow a diet and exercise plan. Unfortunately, those who have insulin-dependent diabetes or other serious health issues that prevent them from exercising won’t be able to join. If someone participates, they can expect to engage in a guided program focused on diet and physical activity, with the hope of improving their overall health and well-being. This research could lead to practical benefits not only for individuals but also for public health.
