“…The prevalence of diabetes was 21% in the sample; all but 1% reflected in the self-report of a health professional’s diagnosis. In terms of total diabetic burden for Hispanics in this Southeast Arizona community, this is over 50% greater than the national rates for Hispanics or Mexican American adults [5], and higher than the 15%–18% rates from other Hispanic border samples [11,13,16]. Also, the age adjusted rate was about 25% greater than that indicated for Hispanics in the most recent national data [49].…”

“…The high rate of Type-II diabetes in Hispanic adults has been documented to contribute to substantive negative impacts on quality of life in addition to premature mortality (e.g., the 5th overall leading cause of death; mortality rates due to diabetes are 60% higher than in non-Hispanic Whites) [9,10]. In fact, diabetes mortality and morbidities represent Latino health disparities that are some of the strongest contraindications to the generally well supported Hispanic/Latino Epidemiological Paradox–where despite the presence of many traditional structural risk factors for disease such as being disproportionately of low income and low educational attainment, their overall health outcomes are comparatively favorable [11]. …”

Hispanics bear a disproportionate burden of diabetes in the United States, yet relations of structural, socio-cultural and behavioral factors linked to diabetes are not fully understood across all of their communities. The current study examines disparities and factors associated with diabetes in adult Hispanics of Mexican-descent (N = 648) participating in a population survey of an underserved rural U.S.-Mexico border community. The overall rate of diabetes prevalence rate in the sample, based on self-report and a glucose testing, was 21%; much higher than rates reported for U.S. adults overall, for all Hispanic adults, or for Mexican American adults specifically. Acculturation markers and social determinants of health indicators were only significantly related to diabetes in models not accounting for age. Older age, greater BMI (>30), greater waist-to-hip ratio as well as lower fruit and vegetable consumption were significantly related to increased likelihood of diabetes when all structural, cultural, behavioral, and biological factors were considered. Models with sets of behavioral factors and biological factors each significantly improved explanation of diabetes relative to prior social ecological theory-guided models. The findings show a critical need for diabetes prevention efforts in this community and suggest that health promotion efforts should particularly focus on increasing fruit and vegetable consumption.

“…An objective of the Healthy Border Program in 2010 was to reduce suicide mortality in the United States-Mexico border region (8). Prior research has shown that adults who live on the U.S. side of the Texas-Mexico border have similar mental health status as do their counterparts in the United States as a whole (9). However, that study included severely disadvantaged adults and was not representative of the Texas population.…”

Similar prevalences of current depression were observed among those who live in the border region of California and in those who do not, but the relationship between depression and health status, health care access, and binge drinking varied by border region residence. Ideally, future surveillance of depression and its predictors along the Mexico-California border will be conducted binationally to inform interventions and tracking such as the Healthy Border Program's objectives.

Latar belakang: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) merupakan penyakit metabolik yang disebabkan oleh adanya defek sekresi insulin ataupun distribusi insulin. Indonesia masuk ke dalam urutan ke-4 besar kategori Top Ten Countries/Territories For Number Of Adults With Diabetes. Berdasarkan IDF (2015), pada tahun 2040 akan terjadi kenaikan kasus diagnosis DM dari 415.000.000 menjadi 642.000.000 kasus. Kondisi hiperglikemia dapat mempengaruhi akumulasi saliva yang berhubungan dengan keseimbangan asam basa mulut dan perubahan fisiologis kelenjar saliva yang dapat mempengaruhi produksi saliva baik komposisi saliva maupun laju aliran saliva yang berlanjut pada perubahan pH saliva. Evaluasi uji saliva berkala dimungkinkan dapat menjadi alternatif pemantauan prognosis terkait kondisi kesehatan oral pada penderita DMTujuan: Mengetahui hubungan antara kadar GDP terhadap kadar pH dan laju aliran saliva penderita DM tipe 2 di puskesmas 1 kembaranMetode: Penelitian analitik observasional dengan rancangan cross-sectional yang melibatkan 28 penderita DM tipe 2 (total sampling), analisa uji korelasi pearson.Hasil: Karakteristik data rerata dari pH yang diperoleh adalah 6.86, sedangkan karakteristik data penelitian terkait rerata laju aliran saliva terstimulasi adalah 0.66 ml/min.Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan (P = < 0.05) antara GDP terhadap pH (P value – 0.450 ) dan laju aliran saliva (P value – 0.471)Kata kunci : gula darah puasa, pH saliva, laju aliran saliva, komplikasi oral, penderita DM tipe 2

Abstract: HRQL is an important outcome in monitoring health status. Understanding the levels and influences of HRQL in U.S.-Mexico border residents with diabetes may help improve diabetes management programs.
