The Development of Diabetes in Individuals Discussion

For your initial response to this week’s DQ, select a health-related condition and compare the risk of that condition in at least two countries. Describe:

Which measure(s) you chose to help evaluate the risk, and how you found the data

What those data say about how the selected countries compare

• How comparable the data are from those countries (i.e., are they using the same case definition? the same measurement approaches?)
• Your conclusion about how the countries compare and your level of confidence in that conclusion
• A post of approximately 200-350 words
• Your initial response and follow-on discussion posts should cite evidence from sources such as journal articles, reports by governmental and non-governmental organizations, news articles, and / or class lectures. Personal correspondence with global health practitioners or personal experience may also be used, provided that other forms of evidence are also presented. You may choose whatever citation style you are most comfortable with.
