A nurse is aware that which of the following social inequities are correlated with increased diabetes prevalence & more severe complications of diabetes? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY)

access to fresh fruits and vegetables

living in a disadvantaged community

having adequate health insurance

viral infection

autoimmune disorder

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B

A.   Limited access to fresh fruits and vegetables can contribute to poor dietary habits, which are linked to obesity and diabetes. Communities with food deserts often have higher rates of diabetes due to reduced access to nutritious food, leading to diets high in processed and unhealthy foods.
B.   Living in disadvantaged communities is associated with increased diabetes prevalence and complications. Factors such as lower socioeconomic status, limited access to healthcare, poor health education, and environmental stressors can exacerbate health issues, including diabetes.
C.   Having adequate health insurance is generally correlated with better health outcomes, including access to preventive care, regular monitoring, and treatment for diabetes. It does not contribute to increased prevalence or complications; rather, it mitigates them.

D.   While certain viral infections have been studied for their potential role in triggering autoimmune diabetes (such as Type 1 diabetes), viral infections themselves are not a social inequity and do not directly correlate with increased diabetes prevalence in the same way that socioeconomic factors do.
E.   Autoimmune disorders can be associated with Type 1 diabetes and some cases of Type 2 diabetes; however, this option does not reflect a social inequity. Instead, autoimmune disorders are more related to individual health conditions and genetics.
