YouTube’s video about diabetes explains the effects and causes. America’s culture has encouraged unhealthy eating habits. Because of its circumstances, obesity is encouraged in the country. Typ 2 diabetes is becoming more common in children with signs that are similar to those of adults, including liver disease, heart failure and joint pain. Type 2 diabetes can have a significant impact on the life span of patients diagnosed prior to the age of 35. Some may require amputations in order to live (CSU Global Multimedia Team. n.d.). Type II diabetes has increased in incidence due to a decrease in physical activities such as playing spaces for children and an increase number of sedentary activities.
Health policy management is covered in the second section of Key Concepts in Public Health. Wilson (2008) argues that public policies are the complex, multifaceted programs designed to counter foreign influence and change in the political and social environment. This YouTube video shows how Type II diabetes is linked to socioeconomic factors and policies. Inactivity rises when there is no public space or where people don’t feel safe walking. In addition, the narration argues, junk food is less expensive than healthier food. Thus, most people are overweight. Wilson (2008) and Mabhala (2008) examine the impact of health policies on health disparities and outcomes. Wilson and Mabhala (2008) talk about social and behavioral science in the third chapter. The authors discuss the wide-ranging biological, physical, and social definitions of health in this chapter. The complex interactions between a person’s behavioural, financial, social and physical environment all affect his/her health. These variables are most responsible for the development of type II diabetes, according to the YouTube video. Because junk food is easier to find and more affordable than healthy food, it may be less costly for someone to buy it. Walking and any other activity that is not prohibited in the United States are discouraged. The likelihood of type II diabetes in younger children is increased by policy, behavioral, and social variables, while quality and life expectancy for adults are reduced.
