The intake of energy and all other nutrients fell short of the recommended dietary intake. To solve the food shortage, there were many food assistant programs through the government channel. With the economic developments during past years, now, there are enough foods for everyone. Thus, food assistant program, which has been the only nutrition program in the government, is no longer needed except for low-income families.Currently, there are not enough nutrition programs in the government. In 1994, about 30 public health center start nutrition programs with the help of Korean Dietetic Association.In this study, kinds of nutrition programs, age, sex and number of participants, the content of programs are studied. The effects of nutrition programs are partially evaluated.Also, problems with current nutrition programs are discussed. Finally, future directions of nutrition programs in the public health centers are discussed展开更多

The approach is to implement primary prevention and secondary prevention activity to increase knowledge and skills of the clients and their families of how to prevent and control type 2 diabetes through a wellness program in the clinic. The practicum began January 2015 and ended April 2015. 53 food bank recipients (non-diabetic and diabetic) were recruited. A quasi-experimental study design, pre-test/posttest, was used for the study. The impact of the program targeted diverse audience, high risk ethnic groups, and improved knowledge, awareness, management, and positive behavioral change. The study implication for public health promotion specialists is to narrow venues targeting the most vulnerable populations to promote and reduce type 2 diabetes.展开更多

This study aimed to assess the prevalence and severity of visual impairment and its associated factors in diabetic patients in Libya. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 2365 DM patients (4730 eyes). Most participants were aged 30 - 49 (38.3%) and 50 - 69 (50.8%) with a nearly equal gender distribution (47.8% males, 52.2% females). Type 2 diabetes was predominant (92.6%), and 62.9% had HbA1c levels of 7.5% or higher. Results: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) was present in 2068 eyes (43.8%), with mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) affecting 1178 eyes (25%), moderate NPDR 476 eyes (10.1%), severe NPDR 228 eyes (4.8%), and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) 186 eyes (3.9%). Diabetic maculopathy was observed in 621 eyes (13.1%), with CSME in 287 eyes (6.07%) and non-CSME in 334 eyes (7.06%). Non-retinal conditions included cataracts in 1938 eyes (41%) and glaucoma in 252 eyes (5.3%). Visual impairment was observed in 1159 patients (49%), with 534 (23%) experiencing mild impairment, 382 (18%) moderate impairment, and 243 (12%) severe impairment;142 patients (6%) were classified as legally blind. DR showed a strong association with visual impairment severity (p Conclusions: These findings underscore the urgency for targeted public health interventions to mitigate visual impairment in Libyan individuals with DM.展开更多
