Assignment #22 Investigating Hypertension and Diabetes
Your
task is to work with a partner (in a sense) to review and learn more about
hypertension and diabetes and better understand the role that diet, behavior,
and other factors have on these chronic diseases. The ultimate goal is that you
are better able to discuss and make recommendations about how diet and behavior
are related to chronic disease – and then be able to support those
recommendations.
To
begin accomplishing this task, please do the following:
1.
Choose to research hypertension or diabetes. Your partner will research the
other option.
2.
Read the selected articles about your chronic disease.
3.
Take note and record the following:
· - basic information – ex. what is diabetes?
· - what factors affect the development/onset/control of the disease
– ex. what can cause or affect hypertension?
· - how each factor affects the disease – ex. how does salt intake
affect hypertension?
· - the research that supports this relationship – ex. how do we
know that salt intake can affect hypertension?
4.
Go over your notes.
5.
Present a summary of your findings to your partner. What you present should
allow your classmate to have basic information about a chronic disease and be
able to make clear, supported recommendations.
