SECA - Identifying Risk Factors For Diabetes
Obesity is emerging as one of the most critical health issues facing the
medical world. As a contributing factor to cardiometabolic risk, obesity poses
an increased threat for coronary heart disease, stroke, and type II diabetes.
In fact, approximately 80% to 90% of people with type II diabetes are
overweight or obese. As a major contributor to increased risks of heart attack,
stroke and high blood pressure - CVD is the leading cause of death among people
with diabetes.
There is a clear – cut relationship between diabetes and weight
management. Monitoring your BMI (body max index) is used as a screening tool
that may predict the development of a number of obesity-related diseases,
including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. SECA
stresses the importance in identifying diabetes risk factors and supports
clinicians by providing an extensive overview of a patient’s health status in
comparing their measurements to statistical norms.
