NURS FPX 6414 Assessment 2 Proposal to Administration

Data Spreadsheet

The World Health Organization highlights diabetes mellitus as a substantial global health challenge. Between the 1980s and 2015, the prevalence of diabetes among adults doubled from 4.7% to 8.5% (Agarwal et al., 2019). Notably, diabetes has ranked as the seventh leading cause of death in the USA since 2019, accounting for approximately 87,647 death certificates (Adam, 2018). The following datasheet presents statistics related to type 2 diabetes across different racial demographics in the United States, considering factors such as education and racial disparities.

Conclusion

The data analysis presented here underscores a strong association between individuals’ education levels and the prevalence of diabetes in the United States. Behavioral self-management is critical for both healthcare professionals and patients to curb the escalating rates of diabetes. The data evidence suggests that diabetes diagnosis rates continue to rise steadily in many countries, including the USA, primarily due to lower patient education levels and racial disparities.
