Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared); CON, control arm; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; HOMA, homeostasis model assessment; IFG, impaired fasting glucose; INT, standard intervention arm; INT-DPM, intervention arm with diabetes prevention mentors; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; MET, metabolic equivalent of task; NDH, nondiabetic hyperglycemia.

SI conversion factors: To convert total, HDL and LDL cholesterol to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0259; plasma glucose to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0555.
