Abstract
Introduction: There is a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in First Nations populations worldwide, increasingly at younger ages. This review aims to identify interventions for the prevention of T2D in First Nations children and young people aged 4-25 years.
Methods: A systematic search of both published and unpublished literature until March 2024 was performed using 15 electronic databases, including MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, ATSIHealth, OpenGrey and specific First Nations databases. Eligible studies included First Nations participants aged 4-25 years without T2D, exploring interventions to prevent T2D. Outcomes included knowledge of diabetes, anthropometry and physiology, diet and nutrition, physical activity, glycemic indicators and psychosocial indicators.
Results: Fourteen pre-post exposure non-controlled studies were included, evaluating nine programs. Programs were culturally adapted and primarily school-based, focusing on individual-level behaviour modification in nutrition and physical activity. Most studies assessing knowledge outcomes reported improvement. There were inconsistent findings regarding impacts on dietary intake and glycemia. One home-based program achieved improvements across a range of outcomes, including body mass index, physical activity and psychosocial scores.
Conclusion: Despite the increasing prevalence of T2D in First Nations children and young people, evidence of effective preventive strategies within these populations remains limited.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Obesity is a peer-reviewed, monthly journal devoted to research into obesity during childhood and adolescence. The topic is currently at the centre of intense interest in the scientific community, and is of increasing concern to health policy-makers and the public at large.
Pediatric Obesity has established itself as the leading journal for high quality papers in this field, including, but not limited to, the following:
Genetic, molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of obesity – basic, applied and clinical studies relating to mechanisms of the development of obesity throughout the life course and the consequent effects of obesity on health outcomes
Metabolic consequences of child and adolescent obesity
Epidemiological and population-based studies of child and adolescent overweight and obesity
Measurement and diagnostic issues in assessing child and adolescent adiposity, physical activity and nutrition
Clinical management of children and adolescents with obesity including studies of treatment and prevention
Co-morbidities linked to child and adolescent obesity – mechanisms, assessment, and treatment
Life-cycle factors eg familial, intrauterine and developmental aspects of child and adolescent obesity
Nutrition security and the "double burden" of obesity and malnutrition
Health promotion strategies around the issues of obesity, nutrition and physical activity in children and adolescents
Community and public health measures to prevent overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.
