Introduction This paper aims at integrating various articles on the history, and spread of diabetes and prediabetic conditions among Arab Americans. The history includes their population and views on social, political, and economic conditions.
The prevalence of diabetic and prediabetic is analyzed according to sex, age, obesity, and people history of obesity. The paper also analyzes the worth of diabetes care in Arab Americans in comparison to other racial groups in America. The paper further gives a background history of Arab Americans. Background of Arab Americans Population In the 1890s, Arabs started immigrating into the United States.
However, in the late 1960s and 1970s, there was political instability in the eastern Mediterranean region leading to an increase in the immigration of Arabs into the U.S. Currently, the population of Arab Americans in the US is between two to three million people, and is the highest population in the state of Michigan (Jaber et al, 2003, p 308).
The population is heterogeneous with a majority of immigrants from rural communities. Worldview of Family, Political, and Economic Factors The Arab American community is characterized by a transition from the Middle East lifestyle to a western lifestyle in the recent years. They changed their Arabic culture and adopted the American way of living Arab Americans and Diabetes Diabetes rate among Arab American versus another ethnicity According to a study conducted by researchers, the Arab Americans are reported to have the highest toll of diabetes compared to the other communities in the US.
The rates are higher than those among the whites, blacks, or Latinos. The research done on 542 non-pregnant adults between the age of 20 and 75 years reported that 19.6 % of the people had diabetes. This is a very number given their small population compared to other groups. In another research, 34% of the people involved in the research had obesity compared to twenty six percent of the whole population of Americans (Roberts, 2003, p 28).
The causes of Diabetes in Arab American There are two suspected causes of high toll in diabetes which include weight and unwholesome habits. The Arab Americans have also adopted detrimental habits from the west including wearing tight pants. Arab Americans have ignored to take precautionary measures by checking on their weight and eating habits.
Bad eating habits also result in increases in weight. Risk factor for diabetes in Arab America The main risk factor for diabetes in Arab America is the wide spread obesity among Arab Americans. Results from the study carried out carried out by Robert (2003) suggest that the rate of obesity is likely to rise in the near future if the Arab Americans do not take adequate preventive measures against obesity. Robert (2003) advices doctors to monitor obese Arab Americans very closely like high risk patients.
Prevalence of diabetes and glucose intolerance among Arab Americans, according to Age, sex, obesity, and family history of diabetes Demographic and biomedical indicators of the populations The demographic indicators of the research done to determine the rate of the spread of diabetes include age, ethnicity, education, employment and occupation.
The age studied in the research is between less than ten years, and equal to or above forty years. The countries of origin studied include Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Palestine and other countries. Level of education is measured in terms of whether an individual has completed secondary education or higher, and less than high school. Individual were assessed of their levels of employment in terms of full-time, part-time, retired, unemployed, in school, homemaker, and inability to work.
Occupation is analyzed in terms of profession, white collar, blue collar, and self employed. Biomedical indicators include obesity, WHR and Central fat distribution. The prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes, IFG, IGT, and combined glucose intolerance Diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes affects 18% of the studied Arab Americans aged between 20 and 75 years, and more than 70% of those above the age of 60. Aged Arab Americans are at a higher risk of having diabetes compared to young ones.
In Arab countries, the rate of diabetes ranges from 3% in Sudan to 35% in Bahrain. In the past two decades there has been an increase in the prevalence of diabetes among Arab Americans due to rapid expansion and prolonged existence. Urban areas record high levels of glucose intolerance due to changes in nutritional patterns, physical activity and obesity. People living in urban areas are exposed to many activities and numerous eating patterns.
