WednesdayThe Business Journal: TGen survey assessing Hispanic health risks complete - 2006-03-08
READ MORE: "The survey indicates that 79 percent of Avondale adults who were surveyed are overweight or obese, indicating that a substantial portion of the population is at an increased risk for the development of heart disease.
Nearly 26 percent of Avondale adults had been previously diagnosed with high blood pressure by a physician, and the TGen study found that an additional 62 percent of the community had abnormally high blood pressure readings. In addition to obesity, diabetes is a big risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Among the individuals surveyed, more than 14 percent were currently being treated for type 2 diabetes. An additional 25 percent of study participants had glucose levels normally seen in diabetes or in individuals at high-risk of developing the disease." |
