Health Issues in Gender, Age & Ethnicity - the Impact of Type 2 Diabeties in Aging Female Health

...

The accompanying are synopses of the arrangements of the discoveries or articles; ten of eleven studies found that there was a positive relationship between self-care and age. In any case, Barrera Jr et al (2014) found that there were no measurably critical relationship between self-care and age. Five of seven studies on sexual orientation uncovered a positive connection between the two variables; self-consideration and sex. In any case, two or three studies uncovered that there was no noteworthy relationship among the aforementioned variables. These studies demonstrated a positive connection between self-consideration and religion. Moreover, seven studies demonstrated a positive connection between self-consideration and the level of instruction. Thirteen studies discovered a positive relationship between self-care and expanded social backing (Bonilla, 2012).

Discussion

As opposed to men, women determined to have type 2 Diabetes at a more established age had an expanded danger of mortality contrasted and more established non-diabetic women. In addition, this was clear three years after conclusion, especially for women matured 40–60 years. Diabetes may be a more danger element for women contrasted with men; in spite of the fact that whether this can be represented by a higher frequency of strange cardiovascular danger elements in diabetic women contrasted with diabetic men is still questionable. Moreover, the study was not able modify for cardiovascular danger components, however the study recommends that the impacts of diabetes may fluctuate as indicated by sex, even in more established people.

Recommendations

It can be said that older women with diabetes must obtain personalised counselling concerning daily life alteration, comprising a medical nourishment assessment. It is recommended for the women of age 45 to 54 years to consider their lifestyle in terms of their diet and exercise. It is said so because the weight loss increases the sensitivity to insulin and it has favourable effects on the blood pressure and lipids. They are also recommended to consider a simple non calorie, low fat and high carbohydrate diet along with the enduring exercise. Apart from the lifestyle interventions, the women of this age should consider the evaluation of their nutritional status along with the review of functional capabilities as well as psychological issues and comprehensive evaluation of gait and balance. The functional assessment is considered as the critical element of the evaluation of diabetic patients. The most common tool in this regard suggested is evaluation of activities of daily lives and instrumental activities of daily routine. The activities in such assessments may include complex and demanding activities such as answering telephones, traveling, and management of money. The future studies in this regard should consider the implementation of appropriate and effective programs for the diabetic patients specifically women of this age group as they are tended to ignore the possible complexities of type 2 diabetes.

These are the reasons why more specific and further research needs to be conducted which should cover all the aspects of type 2 diabetes, particularly for old women with age from 45-54 years.
