Quality Of Diabetes Information In Arabic Language: A Comparison Of Newspaper And Medical Web Contents

Quality of Diabetes Information in Arabic Language: A Comparison of Newspaper and Medical Web Contents Improper knowledge of diabetes Improper knowledge of diabetes and its associated tissue damage leads to increased prevalence of complications and hospital admissions. The public gets most of its health information from media, and internet (Net) is an increasingly important source of this kind of information. This study was designed to evaluate the quality (coverage [amp] accuracy) of diabetes information available for the Egyptian people through Net in comparison with the one published on the press with a high circulation. We searched the Net (June - July 06) using two of the most commonly used search engines that offer Arabic accesses (Google [amp] msn). Sixty web sites were randomly selected to be evaluated (Net Group). We also conducted a retrospective content analysis of press coverage of diabetes in the 5 Arabic newspapers with the widest circulation in Egypt, from February 1, 06 to July 31, 06. Forty-one articles were collected to be included in the study (Press Group). We used the guidelines supplied by the ADA as a standard for comparison. Nineteen percent of the Web sites were developed by scientific organizations for educational purposes. Thirty-nine percent of the Net Group and 71% of Press Group contents were produced by commercial ventures. On average, 44% of the clinical elements on Net Group and only 17% on Press Group were more than minimally covered. When we combined the measures of accuracy and coverage, the mean percent of clinical elements that received a rating of more than minimally covered and were completely accurate, was 23% for Net Group and only 7% for Press Group. Conflicting information were significantly more dominant among Press Group co Continue reading >>

Type Ii Diabetes Mellitus In Arabic-speaking Countries

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Abstract The global epidemic of diabetes has not spared the Arabic-speaking countries, which have some of the highest prevalence of type II diabetes. This is particularly true of the Arab Gulf, a conglomerate of high income, oil-producing countries where prevalence rates are the highest. The prevalence rates among adults of the Arabic speaking countries as a whole range between 4%–21%, with the lowest being in Somalia and the highest in Kuwait. As economic growth has accelerated, so has the movement of the populations to urban centers where people are more likely to adopt lifestyles that embrace increased high-calorie food consumption and sedentary lifestyles. These factors likely contribute to the increased prevalence of obesity and diabetes in the Arabic speaking countries. 1. Introduction Diabetes mellitus, long considered a disease of minor significance to world health, is now considered one of the main threats to human health in this century. The global epidemic of people with type II diabetes is largely due to population growth, aging, urbanization, and the scourge of obesity and physical inactivity. The total number of people worldwide with type II diabetes was expected to increase from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million in 2030 [1]. Unfortunately, the prevalence worldwide already reached 366 by 2011 according to the international Diabetes Federation (IDF), and the projections are that prevalence of diabetes on a global scale could well reach 530 million people in 2030 [1].

Summary: It is important to look after diabetes for long-term health. Diabetes is a condition which, over time, may cause damage to the bodys organs, blood vessels and nerves. If diabetes is well managed and general health is taken care of, the risk of diabetes-related complications is reduced. This fact sheet provides information on diabetes-related complications including the most common diabetes-related complications and tips to maintain good health. Summary: This fact sheet provides general information and facts about type 1 and 2 diabetes, their common symptoms, causes and treatment. It also covers gestational diabetes. It includes frequently asked questions about diabetes and information about diabetes and travelling, diabetes and driving and diabetes complications and driving. Summary: Type 1 diabetes affects about 10-15% of all people living with diabetes. It occurs when the pancreas cant produce insulin. This happens because the cells that make the insulin (beta cells) have been destroyed by the bodys own immune system. Summary: Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. It affects 80-90% of all people living with diabetes. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the pancreas cant make enough insulin and the bodys cells cant respond properly to the insulin that is made. This leads to high blood glucose levels.
