A Diabetes Belt
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods: In 2010, data from the 2007 and 2008 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System were combined with county-level diagnosed diabetes prevalence estimates. Counties in close proximity with an estimated prevalence of diagnosed diabetes 11.0% were considered to defıne the diabetes belt. Prevalence of risk factors in the diabetes belt was compared to that in the rest of the U.S. The fraction of the excess risk associated with living in the diabetes belt associated with selected risk factors, bothmodifıable (sedentary lifestyle, obesity) and nonmodifıable (age, gender, race/ethnicity, education), was calculated.
