Objective The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of the concept of perceived barriers in health promotion for risk factor reduction, and to describe a ‘Perceived barriers and lifestyle risk factor modification model’ which could potentially be incorporated into existing frameworks for diabetes education to enhance lifestyle risk factor education in women with type 2 diabetes. Sett...

This article discusses the factors that contribute most to systolic and diastolic heart failure (HF): ischemic heart disease, hypertension,obesity, diabetes, and nephropathy. Diabetes often follows the insulin resistance syndrome in which obesity and hypertension are combined with dyslipidemia, and obesity is likely causal. Diabetes and hypertension are common causes of nephropathy, which in tu...
