Childhood obesity, a very complex health issue that becomes a growing problem in the U.S. In fact, “over the past three decades, childhood obesity rates have tripled in the U.S., and today, the country has some of the highest obesity rates in the world: one out of six children is obese, and one out of three children is overweight or obese.” (Child obesity, n.d.). Physical diseases and conditions are often accompanying obesity. Also, obesity may have an adverse effect on various systems in a child’s body, such as heart, lungs, muscles and bones, kidneys, digestive tract, and hormones that control blood sugar and puberty. Furthermore, it can take a toll on social life because obese kids and teenagers are more likely to have low self-esteem. “Childhood obesity is one of the most serious threats to the health of our nation.” (Building evidence to prevent childhood obesity, n.d.). Children and youth who are obese and overweight will likely remain overweight or obese into adulthood.

Diabetes mellitus
Introduction
This is a disease that results from the body’s inability to produce enough insulin or inability of the body to produce an appropriate response to insulin. This is the hormone regulation the way the body absorbs glucose. The improper functioning of the insulin in the body may result in elevated levels of blood glucose resulting in various abnormal metabolic activities. This finally results in complications in the body functioning. I am interested in this illness because of its prevalence currently. Across the globe, the number of individual suffering from diabetes mellitus has increased in the past ten years and that has brought this concern. Currently, in the United States, the effect is estimated at 29.1 million. The disease has been classified by the healthy people 2020 initiative group as occupying the 7nth position among the leading causes of death currently.
Morbidity and comorbidity in the United States
There are various disparities in the diabetes risk. The people from the minority population are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes. The minority groups, in this case, comprises 25% of the adult patient suffering from diabetes in the United States. The majority group comprises the children and adolescent with diabetes type 2. According to the healthy people initiate 2020, the African American, American Indians, and some Asian Americans are at higher risk of suffering from type 2 diabetes. The prevalence of this illness among the American Indians is 2-5 times that of the whites. Averagely, African Americans are 1.7 times as likely compared to Mexican Americans (Healthy people 2020, 2016). There are some barriers to the progress of diabetes care. The first one being the challenges arising from the design of the healthcare system and the other one being the continuous increase of diabetes cases. This results to decrease in the attention and resources available for every patient. Apart from the two, there are other comorbidities associated with diabetes. These include fracture risks, cancer risk, and prognosis, cognitive impairment, and incontinence.
Impact on health of the nation
Though manageable, diabetes is still one of the diseases posing a major health threat to the United States population and its healthcare system. This illness affects approximately 26 million people in this country with approximately 18.8 million people diagnosed and about seven million not yet diagnosed. Diabetes comes with an array of health issues. Among them being lower limb amputation, it has been determined to possibly cause blindness and kidney failure. Again, it contributes a lot to cardiovascular diseases. Research has indicated that approximately 68% of people suffering from diabetes end up dying of cardiovascular diseases. Economically, research shows that in 2012, this illness caused the United States to close to ...
Today it’s critical for providers to devote time to patient education; inform patients about their conditions and how to prevent, treat, and manage them. Proper management of chronic conditions extends well beyond episodic and infrequent visits to a provider’s office. This population health white paper discusses why patients must become responsible for their day-to-day disease management. Patients will frequently be required to self-monitor their health indicators, observe symptoms, and note behavior, but they must also adhere to complex medication regimens
The goal of this webinar is to help healthcare professionals improve care coordination for patients with advanced illness and to reduce hospital readmissions and length of stay (LOS).

People demand health because of its role in facilitating and providing
happiness. Health can be defined along two dimensions: the length of life
(longevity) and the quality of life. A person derives value from the quality of
life directly and indirectly: directly because one’s level of health affects the
enjoyment of goods and leisure and indirectly because one’s level of health
enhances productivity (Box 4-1). Enhanced productivity can be rewarded
in the labor market through higher wages. The indirect effect of health
on productivity suggests that health is an important component of human
capital investment. Consistent with the basic principle of our economic
system, consumers exercise choice in purchasing health care and other goods
and services.

2-2 Discussion: Prevention Strategies in Epidemiology
Overweight and obesity continue to be a leading health concern in the United States. It is estimated that up to 400,000 obesity-related deaths occur per year in America. Literature has shown that overweight and obesity are major causes of co-morbidity, including type II diabetes, various cancers, cardiovascular diseases and other heath problems. A person is considered overweight or obese when their weight is greater than what is generally considered healthy for their height. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement that helps to figure out if you’re at a healthy weight for your height. BMI is calculated by dividing weight in pounds by height in inches squared and multiplying by a conversion factor of 703. An adult is considered overweight if their BMI is greater or equal to twenty-five. An adult is considered obese if their BMI is greater than or equal to thirty. The average American man and woman are 190 pounds and 163 pounds respectively according to the National Center for Health Statistics (Montgomery, 2008).
Epidemiological research is key to prevention of disease. Research on disease etiology is helpful in determining where in the disease’s natural history effective intervention might be implemented. Leavell and Clark, in the late 1940’s, were the first to describe the principles of disease prevention using the terms primary, secondary and tertiary prevention (Friis & Sellers, 2014). Primary prevention seeks to prevent a condition or disease at a pre-pathological state. The goal is to stop the condition or disease from ever happening. Primary prevention for overweight and obesity would be working together with policy makers, businesses, schools, childcare and healthcare professionals, state and local organizations to create an environment that supports a healthy lifestyle. Primary prevention differs from secondary and tertiary prevention in that secondary prevention focuses on early disease detection and intervention and tertiary prevention aims to control established disease and limit the amount of disability (Friis & Sellers, 2014). Secondary prevention for overweight and obesity would include defining obesity with BMI, education and explanation of the disease by the primary care physician, necessary changes in nutrition and physical activity. Tertiary prevention for overweight and obesity includes physical activity, weight loss, low carbohydrate diet, behavior therapy and nutritionists.
There are many national and state-level prevention policies and legislation in place to prevent or reduce obesity. For example, the federal government, in 2006-2007, began requiring all school districts with a federally funded school meal program to develop and implement wellness policies that address nutrition and physical activity. Steps to a Healthier US program is program administered by the Centers for Disease Control in 2003 that enables communities to develop action plans to prev.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
