Abstract: Diabetes is a serious, chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin (a hormone that regulates blood sugar, or glucose), or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Diabetes is an important public health problem, one of four priority non-communicable diseases (NCDs) targeted for action by world leaders. Both the number of cases and the prevalence of diabetes have been steadily increasing over the past few decades. Socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the respondents showed that. Age- majority of the respondent’s age were 33 (25-30%) comprising (33 N=80), 18 (22.5) their age was 30-35, 16 (20.0%) were age 35-40 while 40-45 were 13 (16.2%). Table shows the characteristics of study participants stratified by their gender. The respondent of 49 (61.2%) were males and 31 (38.8%) were females. As see the table above that most of the participants was married while few numbers were windowed and divorced. 15 Were single (18.8%), 58 were Married (72.5%), 3 were widow (3.8%) and 4 were divorced (5.0%). The majority respondents reported to have attained are never go to school education, 53 (66.2%) while of the respondents, secondary education were 8 (10.0%) and also 3 (3.8%) were primary. 12 (15.0%) had Diploma. While 4 (5.0%) was Bachelor degree and above education. The table above shows that majority of the respondents were self employment 33 (41.2%), while the house wife was in second number of respondents were 31 (38.8%) Civil society were 11(13.8) and Health workers also were 5(6.2).

Abstract: The global environment has changed rapidly since the Industrial Revolution. Human emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases have warmed our earth, leading to more climate extremes. Human activities have also caused air pollution and, thus, worse air quality. Warmer climates and polluted air pose severe risks to human health. This paper focuses on temperature and air pollution as the primary environmental factors and studies their relationship with mortality across different ethnicity and age groups in the U.S. from 2001 to 2021. The main research methods employed in this paper are correlation analysis and least-square regressions. This paper finds that, on average, environmental factors are moderately and positively related to total deaths at a statistically significant level. Such a positive relationship still holds when I further investigate how the environment is associated with mortality by each individual cause. Moreover, heterogeneity in the relationship is identified among different races. In particular, temperature seems to have a larger impact on the Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander and Black populations. At the same time, air pollution is observed to have a very strong association with the mortality of the Asian population, Pacific Islanders, and Hawaiian Natives. Finally, age disparities are not that significant. One finding worth pointing out is that children and teenagers (Age 1-14) appear to be more susceptible to air pollution than other age groups.
