Abstract
Introduction: Type II Diabetes Mellitus is typically a chronic disease associated with a
ten-year-shorter life expectancy. Risk factors for type II Diabetes Mellitus can be
classified as modifiable and non-modifiable. Modifiable risk factors are those that can
be changed to reduce an individual’s risk of developing type II Diabetes Mellitus and
include unhealthy weight, physical inactivity, unhealthy eating, and smoking. Nonmodifiable
risk factors are individual characteristics, such as age, ethnicity, and family
history of the disease. Information from several clinical trials strongly supports the
idea that type II Diabetes Mellitus is preventable. Up to 90 percent of cases of type II
Diabetes Mellitus can be prevented by healthy lifestyle habits. Purpose of the current study aimed to examine the effect of Lifestyle modification
intervention on reducing risk of type II Diabetes Mellitus among high risk people. Methods: A quasi experimental (Pretest and post test) design was used to test research
hypothesis .A convenience sample of 70 adult patients with one or more risk factors of
type II DM was selected. Setting: This study was conducted at the out- patient clinics of Menofia University
Hospital at Shebein El- Kom City. Tools for data collection: A structured Demographic data Questionnaire, The
Australian Type II Diabetes Risk Assessment Questionnaire, 24 Hours Dietary Recall
Questionnaire .Lifestyle modification intervention was developed and implemented to
participants to enhance their lifestyle and reduce type II DM risk factors for them. Results: The majority of both groups have family history of DM 60%, 74.3% and
family history of obesity 62.9%, 74.3% in control and study groups respectively. There was highly statistically significant difference in type II Diabetes Mellitus risk
score pre and post intervention from Mean ± SD (15.22± 3.72) pre intervention to
(10.88± 5.0) post intervention and weight reduced by 85.7% post intervention
compared with pre intervention in the study group. There was statistically significant
difference in performing physical activity pre and post intervention in the study group.
There was high statistically significant difference on total calories intake per day pre
and Post Intervention in study group reduced from Mean ± SD (3005.71± 656.18) pre
intervention to (2763.77±662.24) post intervention. There was highly significant
positive correlation between risk score and age in study group post intervention. Conclusion: Lifestyle modification intervention can favorably decrease type II diabetes
risk factor in high risk people. Recommendation: encourage nurses to provide health education about Lifestyle
modification intervention to enhance patient care, and adoption of healthy behavior.
