Primary

MeasureTime frame
Proportion of study participants reaching 3 or more of the 5 DPP (Diabetes Prevention Program) lifestyle aims at the final study visit, 6-8 months after randomization (1. moderate or high intensity exercise =150 minutes per week; 2. =15g fiber intake per 1000 kcal; 3. =30% energy from fat; 4. =10% energy from saturated fat; 5. for baseline BMI =23 weight at follow-up =95% of baseline, for baseline BMI 20-22,9 weight at follow-up =100% of baseline, for baseline BMI <20 weight at follow-up =105% of baseline) instruments: 4 days diet protocols, IPAQ physical activity questionnaire Analysis: Intention to treat (all randomized participants with V2 data); per protocol 1 (only those participants from the intervention Group, who started to actively use the app); per protocol 2 (only those participants from per protocol 1, who continued to actively use the app throughout the 6 months intervention period)
