Self-report and device-based measures of physical activity (PA) both have unique strengths and limitations; combining these measures should provide complementary and comprehensive insights to PA behaviours. Therefore, we aim to 1) identify PA clusters and clusters of change in PA based on self-reported daily activities and 2) assess differences in device-based PA between clusters in a lifestyle intervention, the PREVIEW diabetes prevention study. In total, 232 participants with overweight and prediabetes (147 women; 55.

Design: A secondary analysis of the behavior maintenance stage (6-36 months) of the 3-year PREVIEW intervention (PREVention of diabetes through lifestyle Intervention and population studies in Europe and around the World).
Participants: Adults (n = 1,311) with overweight and prediabetes at preintervention baseline.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the synthesis and electrochemical properties of various benzoimidazole compounds, which are being explored as n-dopants in organic electron-transport materials.
- It highlights that 2-aryl substituents stabilize radicals more effectively than 2-alkyl groups, leading to different reactivity patterns in reactions with PCBM and other compounds.
- The findings reveal significant differences in reactivity based on structural modifications, with certain dimers demonstrating faster reaction rates and unique electrochemical characteristics, as confirmed through crystal structure analysis.
Background: Sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet combined with overweight are risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Lifestyle interventions with weight-loss are effective in T2D-prevention, but unsuccessful completion and chronic stress may hinder efficacy. Determinants of chronic stress and premature cessation at the start of the 3-year PREVIEW study were examined.
