SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The purpose of this study is to examine the influences of the determinants of health: age, gender, BMI, income, marital status, educational level, smoking, physical activity, nutrition, interpersonal relations, and health responsibility and their effects among Arab Americans who are at risk for type 2 diabetes. Pender's Health Belief Model was used in this study to configure the variables that could interfere with people's health and to gain an understanding of the effect of the determinants of health (DH) on the beliefs of self-well-being and lowering the risk of developing type 2 diabetes among Arab Americans. Cross-sectional design with a purposeful sampling of (n =115) adult Arab Americans aged 25 to 65 years living in Orange County, California was used. Odds ratio technique was used to determine the risk factors related to the determinants of health in developing type 2 diabetes. Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II subscales of physical activity, nutrition, social support, and health responsibility were used to calculate self-report of health-promoting lifestyle habits. The diabetes risk test tool was used to assess the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The logistic regression for all variables in the equation (age, gender, BMI, health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, interpersonal relations) was significant in predicting the risk for type 2 diabetes among Arab Americans (p-value = .00 (≤ .05)). The findings in this study offer valuable information about the importance of lifestyle modification and policy decision-makers to take action toward primary prevention of reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in Arab Americans.
