NoIntervention is the simulation of the control group where no prevention program is carried out. DPP-* is the simulation of the below prevention programs:

DPP-RG refers to the study by Diabetes Prevention Program Research Group, “Reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes with lifestyle intervention or metformin,” The New England Journal of Medicine, vol. 346, no. 6, p. 393, 2002.

DPP-YMCA refers to the study by R. T. Ackermann et al., “A Randomized Comparative Effectiveness Trial for Preventing Type 2 Diabetes,” Am J Public Health, vol. 105, no. 11, pp. 2328–2334, Nov. 2015.

DPP-HELP_PD refers to the study by J. A. Katula et al., “One-year results of a community-based translation of the Diabetes Prevention Program: Healthy-Living Partnerships to Prevent Diabetes (HELP PD) Project,” Diabetes Care, vol. 34, no. 7, pp. 1451–1457, Jul. 2011.

AvgDelay is the analysis on the results of the above simulations to evaluate the average gain in diabetes-free survival time.
