Résumé : |
Objective The main objective of this study was to determine whether expectations and readiness to modify eating habits and physical activity (PA) level are different between young and older individuals with prediabetes who agreed to participate in a lifestyle modification program. Design Cross-sectional analysis. Setting Primary care or referral center. Participants Adults between ages 27 and 78 years (N=74) were tested before starting a 12-month lifestyle intervention. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures The visual analog scale questionnaire was used to assess expectations and readiness (ie, intentions, conviction, and self-confidence) to modify the PA level and eating habits. The PA level was assessed with a pedometer and eating habits with a questionnaire. Analyses were stratified by the age group: Results Body mass loss expectations in terms of goal (−22.9% vs −17.9% of the current body mass; P=.04), acceptable (−15.6% vs −9.4%; P=.01), and failure (−7.6% vs −3.8%; P=.05) in future body mass loss were all greater for the younger group. Despite no significant age group difference in the initial PA level and eating habits, the youngest group had a greater intention to increase the PA level (89% vs 81%; P=.004) and to eat healthier (90% vs 85%; P=.001). Finally, the PA level and the consumption of fruits and vegetables, but not body mass, were associated with intentions or self-confidence to make some lifestyle modifications within age groups. Conclusions In individuals at high risk for diabetes, increasing age is associated with lower expectations and reduced readiness with regard to lifestyle modifications. Thus, age should be considered when planning a lifestyle modification program. |
