Extractions: About NCSL Services Overview ... Health var doctitle=document.title document.write(doctitle) Add to My NCSL Health Care Program Updated: September 24, 2004 A leading cause of blindness, kidney disease, heart disease and amputations, diabetes claims the lives of more than 193,000 Americans each year. According to the CDC, it is the country's sixth leading cause of death by disease. Approximately 18.2 million Americans have diabetes, but one-third of those are undiagnosed. As of May 2004, forty-six states have some type of laws requiring health insurance coverage to include treatment for diabetes. The states not included are Alabama, Idaho, North Dakota and Ohio. In 2002, Georgia and Wisconsin each passed an expansion of current coverage requirements. In 2003 Hawaii adopted a resolution to clarify its mandate of diabetes education coverage. No new laws were passed during the first four months of 2004. About 17 million Americans have diabetes today, including about 16 million with Type 2. In addition, at least 16 million more Americans have pre-diabetes a condition that raises a person's risk of getting type 2 diabetes. However, a diagnosis of pre-diabetes does not mean that diabetes is inevitable, and the new campaign aims at encouraging people to take modest steps that will reduce their risks. Nationally, diabetes has increased nearly 50 percent in the past 10 years alone, according to CDC estimates.

Extractions: Between 1987 and 2000, obesity reached epidemic proportions in the United States, with more than 45 million adults classified as obese. In Colorado, adult obesity (body mass index [BMI] 30) rates increased from 6.9% in 1990 to 14.9% in 2001; the prevalence of overweight (BMI 25) among adults also rose from 36.7% to 51.6% during those years. Evidence That Prevention Works Research has demonstrated that preventive measures such as improved nutrition, tobacco cessation, increased physical activity, and early detection and intervention may prevent heart disease, stroke, and other chronic diseases. Physical activity helps to control weight; contributes to healthy bones, muscles, and joints; reduces falls among the elderly; helps to relieve the pain of arthritis; reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression; and is associated with fewer hospitalizations, physician visits, and medications. Program Example Through a partnership with the University of Colorado Health Sciences, the Colorado Physical Activity and Nutrition Program is implementing two community interventions in Peetz, Colorado, which has a large rural population, and in the Denver Metro Black Churches, which allows program coordinators to work in an already established urban and African American setting to reach high-risk populations. These interventions focus on a physical activity component to encourage participants to walk 2,000 steps a day more than they walked before the program. Pedometers are offered to assist participants in their efforts. Additional worksites and community sites throughout the state are also participating. The intervention will introduce a nutrition component as well, most likely promoting a 5 A Day campaign. The program has been named
American Indian/Alaska Native Women: Obesity And Overweight Proper nutrition is your way to a healthy heart. Federal resource American Indian and alaska Native Women s health This site provides information for http://www.4woman.gov/minority/naobese.cfm
Extractions: Skip navigation Among American Indians/Alaska Natives ages 45-74, over 30 percent of women are overweight and over 40 percent of women are obese. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, breathing problems, arthritis, gallbladder disease, sleep apnea (breathing problems while sleeping), osteoarthritis and some cancers. Obesity is measured with a Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI shows the relationship of weight to height. Women with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 are considered overweight, while women with a BMI of 30 or more are considered obese. All adults (aged 18 years or older) who have a BMI of 25 or more are considered at risk for premature death and disability from being overweight or obese. These health risks increase as the BMI rises. Your health care provider can help you figure out your body mass or go to www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/calc-bmi.htm Not only are doctors concerned about how much fat a person has, but also where the fat is located on the body. Women with a "pear" shape tend to store fat in their hips and buttocks. Women with an "apple" shape store fat around their waists. For most women, carrying extra weight around their waists or middle (with a waist larger than 35 inches) raises health risks (like heart disease, diabetes, or cancer) more than carrying extra weight around their hips or thighs.

Behaviors to promote health should start early in life with breastfeeding and continue through life with the development of healthful eating habits. Nutritional, or dietary, factors contribute substantially to the burden of preventable illnesses and premature deaths in the United States. Indeed, dietary factors are associated with 4 of the 10 leading causes of death: coronary heart disease (CHD), some types of cancer, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

Extractions: Enter keyword: There are growing concerns among Native American communities today regarding chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes and their causes. Research indicates that changing lifestyles have led to an increase in heart disease and type 2 diabetes in Indian people. Many advocate returning to a traditional diet and increasing exercise to live a healthier life. Although there are many resources about nutrition and chronic disease available, few are Native American specific. Some of the nutrition resources in this guide are specific to particular tribes or regions, but they can be applied to other indigenous people. Not all resources could be listed due to space limitations, but this guide will lead to many useful links and additional resources for information.
