Beskrivning

Numerous research programs have developed over the last decade to improve the understanding of the causes, prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications. Efficient synthesis of the data and information from these diverse sources is crucial to prioritize interventions and assemble resources for the implementation of public health programs. This book meets this need and builds on previous works to reflect the evolution of science related to diabetes public health.Through compelling evidence related to the current health and economic impact of diabetes, the book provides effective approaches to prevent and manage diabetes through the practice of public health. It combines state-of-the-art descriptions of risk factors and complications, effective and cost-effective approaches to prevention and treatment, translational research, and genomics to give a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis on diabetes public health. Critical review and synthesis of influential epidemiologic studies and consensus statements, expected future advances in trials and technologies, and public health information resources are also highlighted topics. With significant attention to diabetes control in the U.S. and North America, Diabetes Public Health should be required reading for public health practitioners and researchers, as well as anyone involved in health policy, administration and management. It will also be of interest to academics in the field of diabetes and other chronic diseases.

The authors have made a convincing case that diabetes is a major public health problem and that a strong database exists that can be used to influence policy changes to address diabetes and its complications." -- Medical University of South Carolina Charleston"This is a superb contribution exploring the public health implications of and evidence-based interventions for the worldwide diabetes epidemic...I know of no other resources that can compare to this excellent book. It pulls together information not readily found elsewhere with authority, elegance, and lucidity." --Doody's
