Description
Using a descriptive study design, we examined data from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services' 2014 Hispanic Behavioral Risk Factor Survey, to explore which factors put Hispanics, ages 18+, at a greater risk for diabetes in comparison to the rest of Michigan population. As a result of the research conducted, the risk factors determined in the study include: diet, obesity, income, routine checkups, access to healthcare, self reported health, and mental health. It was also concluded that, “12.5% of Hispanic adults in Michigan reported ever being told by a doctor that they had diabetes, compared to 10.4% of all Michigan adults”. When adjusting for age, Hispanics were almost twice as likely to report having diabetes, compared to all Michigan adults.
