Type II Diabetes in African-American Women

In my research I examined to see if there is a correlation between the prevalence of diabetes in African- American women and their socioeconomic status, environment, education level, diet and many other factors. I also looked to see if the factors have a significant role in the diabetes cases along African-American woman in the United States. My research also examined if living in the urban areas in inner city America where poverty is a raising issue increases one\u27s chances of getting diabetes, I also looked at the disparities between Caucasian women and African-American women and the cases of diabetes, to see why there is more cases of diabetes in the African-American women population compared to the other races. My research paper is a case study, based on previous studies done the topic. I looked at different studies and research done on the topic compared different finding on the topic and tired drawing my own conclusion from it. I looked to see what individual were considered to be high risk for developing diabetes within the African-American women population, and saw that those who were considered at risk did not all get the disease inherently as some studies suggest. My research shows that diabetes is not only a inherited disease a lot of other factors play role in this diseases\u27 prevalence within certain communities, especially within the African-American community
