To create individualized intervention effects, pairwise interactions between intervention and age, FPG, and BMI were included. The discrimination, calibration, and net benefit of the model's 3-year predictions for incident diabetes were internally validated within the DPP and externally validated among participants with prediabetes in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA; N=2104).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In DPP and MESA, mean (standard deviation) age was 51 years (11) and 64 (10) and 67% and 50% of participants were women, respectively. The mean C-statistic was 0.71 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.68, 0.74) in DPP and 0.86 (95% CI: 0.83, 0.88) in MESA. The optimal preventive intervention (lowest 3-year risk) was lifestyle for 86% and 97% of DPP and MESA participants, respectively, and metformin for the remaining. Model performance was similar across race/ethnicity groups.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This is the first study to develop and validate a diabetes risk prediction model with individualized preventive intervention effects which may improve clinical decision-making and diabetes prevention.</p>","PeriodicalId":50238,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144056291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
