Lien ASY, et al. - The effects of lifestyle modification programs on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels in overweight children were determined in this meta-analysis. This systematic review demonstrated that in reducing the FPG levels of overweight/obese children, lifestyle modification programs could be effective. To assess the long-term effect of this complementary approach for diabetes mellitus prevention on overweight/obese children, further high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with longer follow-up periods were required.
