Can a lifestyle program fight weight gain and stress in Hard-Hit neighborhoods?

This study looked at how a year-long diabetes prevention program affected weight, heart health, and stress levels in 15 adults from socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. Researchers measured changes in body weight, cardiovascular risk factors, and psychological stress to see if the program helped participants maintain a healthier lifestyle. The goal was to understand the real-world challenges of weight management and disease prevention in underserved populations.
