Health Promotion- Applying Interventions
Unfortunately, for most people diabetes is found once the onset of the disease has already
occurred. According to the CDC, this chronic disease is continuing to grow with nearly 13
percent of the United States adult population having diabetes in 2020, 34.5 percent meet
the criteria for prediabetes and about 79,535 deaths occur each year. Hispanics and Latinos
are the highest population at risk with 14 percent of patients with diabetes being Hispanic
or Latino, followed by African American with 11 percent. Risk factors for diabetes include
some that can be changed such as obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle, as well as some that
cannot be changed such as family history. Diabetes is the second leading cause of kidney
failure and new cases of blindness among adults in the U.S. It is imperative that treatment
and prevention measures are increased (Thomas, 2016). The purpose of this paper is to
discuss diabetes, a health topic that affects the adult population.
Epidemiology
The USPSTF guideline recommends determining the population who is at increased risk of
developing diabetes. The risk factors for this guideline include overweight or obese
patients, patients who are older age, patients with a family history of diabetes, a history of
gestational diabetes, and dietary and lifestyle factors. Although the recommended age for
screenings is 30 to 75 years old, the USPSTF recommends screening at an earlier age for
those who are of high-incidence background such as Hispanics, African American, and
ascian descent. Recommending lifestyle and dietary patients has demonstrated efficacy in
the prevention or delaying of disease progression.
