Purpose The purpose of the study was to examine how gender was related to enrollment and number of sessions attended in the National Diabetes Prevention Program’s Lifestyle Change Program (DPP LCP). Methods To better understand program uptake, a population of those who would be eligible for the LCP was compared to those who enrolled. Estimates of those eligible were computed using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, whereas enrollment and sessions attended were computed using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program. Results Results revealed that although similar numbers of males and females were eligible for the program, only 39 321 males versus 121 007 females had enrolled in the National DPP LCP by the end of 2017 (odds ratio = 3.20; 95% CI, 3.17-3.24). The gender differences persisted even when stratifying by age or race/ethnicity. In contrast, no significant gender differences were found between the average number of sessions attended for males (14.0) and females (13.8). Discussion Results of the study can help inform efforts to market and tailor programs to appeal more directly to men and other groups that are underrepresented in the National DPP LCP.

国家糖尿病预防计划生活方式改变计划中的性别差异检查

目的 本研究的目的是检查性别与国家糖尿病预防计划的生活方式改变计划 (DPP LCP) 的入学率和参加会议次数之间的关系。方法 为了更好地了解计划的实施，将符合 LCP 资格的人群与注册人群进行了比较。对符合条件的人的估计是使用国家健康和营养检查调查的数据计算的，而注册人数和参加的会议是使用疾病控制和预防中心糖尿病预防识别计划的数据计算的。结果 结果显示，尽管符合该计划的男性和女性人数相似，但截至 2017 年底，只有 39 321 名男性和 121 007 名女性参加了全国 DPP LCP（优势比 = 3.20；95% CI，3.17-3.24 ）。即使按年龄或种族/民族分层，性别差异仍然存在。相比之下，男性 (14.0) 和女性 (13.8) 参加的平均会议次数之间没有发现显着的性别差异。讨论 研究的结果可以帮助为营销和定制计划的努力提供信息，以更直接地吸引在国家 DPP LCP 中代表性不足的男性和其他群体。
