(ISRCTN Registry: ISRCTN89898870) Setting: 23 centers across Spain. Participants: 4746 adults aged 55 to 75 years with metabolic syndrome and overweight or obesity, without prior cardiovascular disease or diabetes. Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 to an intervention group receiving an erMedDiet (planned reduction of 600 kcal per day), increased physical activity, and behavioral strategies for reducing weight, or a control group receiving ad libitum MedDiet advice. Results: During the 6-year intervention period, absolute risk was 12.8% (95% CI, 11.0% to 14.5%) in the control group and 10.3% (CI, 8.8% to 11.8%) in the intervention group; the absolute risk reduction was 2.5% (CI, 4.7% to 0.3%); and the adjusted Hazard ratio was 0.67 (CI, 0.56 to 0.80). When the extended follow-up period beyond the intervention period (range between more than 6 years and 8.6 years) was included, diabetes incidence was 31% (CI, 18% to 41%) relatively lower in the intervention group (280 cases) compared with the control group (349 cases). Limitation: Secondary outcome, single-blinded design, and self-reported dietary adherence. Conclusion: An intensive intervention with the MedDiet adding caloric reduction, physical activity, and modest weight loss was more effective than only an ad libitum MedDiet in reducing diabetes incidence in overweight/ obese persons with metabolic syndrome PB American College of Physicians (ACP) YR 2025 FD 2025-10-01 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/44756 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/44756 LA eng NO Ruiz-Canela M, Corella D, Martínez-González MÁ, Babio N, Martínez JA, Forga L, Alonso-Gómez ÁM, Wärnberg J, Vioque J, Romaguera D, López-Miranda J, Estruch R, Santos-Lozano JM, Serra-Majem L, Bueno-Cavanillas A, Tur JA, Martín-Sánchez V, Riera-Mestre A, Delgado-Rodríguez M, Matía-Martín P, Vidal J, Vázquez C, Daimiel L, Buil-Cosiales P, Shyam S, Sorlí JV, Castañer O, García-Rios A, Torres-Collado L, Gómez-Gracia E, Zulet MÁ, Konieczna J, Casas R, Cano-Ibáñez N, Tojal-Sierra L, Bernal-López RM, Toledo E, García-Gavilán J, Fernández-Carrión R, Goday A, Arenas-Larriva AP, González-Palacios S, Schröder H, Ros E, Fitó M, Hu FB, Tinahones FJ, Salas-Salvadó J.
