Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Due to the worldwide increase in the number of people with diabetes, the prevention of type 2 diabetes is of major importance. Despite many studies addressing this issue, comprehensive prevention programs are still lacking; therefore, the prevention program GLICEMIA was developed in accordance with guideline recommendations. The aim of the study was the evaluation of the program GLICEMIA with emphasis on the risk score FINDRISK. Methods: The program consisted of 8 interventional sessions within 12 months (3 individual counseling sessions and 5 group-based sessions) and was conducted in community pharmacies. The evaluation was carried out within the framework of a cluster randomized controlled trial. The control group took part in three assessments and received written standard information. Results: In total, the data of 1092 participants from 40 community pharmacies were analyzed. During the participation in the prevention program GLICEMIA the risk for type 2 diabetes in the intervention group showed a statistically significant reduction compared with the control group according to the FINDRISK score (adjusted effect size −0.74 points, 95 % confidence interval −1.04 points to −0.42 points). The risk reduction was attributed to improvements in the risk factors waist circumference, physical activity, high-fiber diet and body mass index. Conclusion: The evaluation of the GLICEMIA program was the first large-scale diabetes prevention study in community pharmacies. As a result, a significant reduction in the risk for type 2 diabetes according to the FINDRISK score was determined. Despite the limitation of being a self-reporting procedure, the questionnaire is a suitable tool for this low-threshold prevention program.
