Epidemiology epidemeology diabetes endocrinology There are 25.8 million children and adults in the United States, 8.3% of them have diabetes. Twenty five point six million, or 11.3 % of all people 20 years or older have diabetes . Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90 to 95% of diabetes cases in the United States . Type 2 diabetes runs in families. In part, this tendency is due to children learning bad habits eating a poor diet, not exercising from their parents; however there is also a genetic basis. Risk factors for Type 2 diabetes include excess body fat, physical inactivity, and smoking. A determination of Body Mass Index (a calculation of your height and weight) will indicate if a person is overweight or obese. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services indicates that a BMI of 25 to 30 is considered overweight and over 30 is considered obese. With every 1 increase in BMI, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases by 10 to 30%1. Diabetes is also the leading cause of kidney failure, nontraumatic lower-limb amputations, and new cases of blindness among adults in the United States. Diabetes is a major cause of heart disease and stroke, and is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. Diabetes type 2 a serious epidemic in the United States that, with lifestyle interventions, can be reduced. Type 2 diabetes is becoming more common due to increasing obesity and failure to exercise. Diet and exercise are key factors in reducing the amount of body fat, which is a main risk factor in type 2 diabetes. Studies have shown that increased activity and better choices of foods in the diet can reduce or even eliminate type 2 diabetes. The average median annual direct medical costs of non-insulin dependent type 2 diabetes is $1,700 to $2,100 per person with no microvascular, neuropathic, or cardiovascular complications. 2014-10-20 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1394725049 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1394725049 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
