¶ … Seven-Year Follow-up of a Multiple-Health-Behavior Diabetes Intervention" by Toobert et. al (2010) are all multiple-variable line graphs. Line graphs are usually graphs connecting points that show trending properties within a specific time period, usually in the form of seconds, days, hours, weeks, months, or years. The x-axis of the particular chart is usually the time measured on a gradual basis, while the y-axis of the line graph is the quantity of the second measure. One can use line graphs in various quantity-over-time-driven experiments and data collection during a specific time period. For example, line graphs are common when it comes to comparing monthly or yearly stock profit and loss. They can also be used to measure the dosage of medicine and results thereof at a particularly given time; the average seasonal temperature per year; or the trending network values of a musical artist during a given time-period.
Multiple trends can be followed on the same line graph; case in point, Figures 1 and 2 showcase the multiple goal enhancements that were to be adhered to during a 5-year period, while Figure 3 showed the typical percentage result of adherence to the enhancements. For the context of the data used in the paper, the chart was an appropriate depiction of the data collected, and is thus presented in a neat and easy-to-read format. Since the parameters include the observation of data through a given time period -- 5 years broken up into 12-month increments -- the quantities for each respective month is seen as a progressive basis. Figure 3 somewhat differs from the first two figures, however, the prognosis remains the same; the graph is appropriate and perfectly represents the data collected. The scope and scale of all the graphs are also appropriately presented, as all the values are easily graph-able within the scale of the charts.
As far as whether there may be alternate graphs or charts that could be used to display the data, column graphs might be the second best choice. Column graphs, however, are more properly used if the overall goal was to present the different multiple variables and compare them relative to each other at a given time period. This, however, does not appear to be the case in the paper, because the paper adheres to a temporal basis, not a comparison with the different types of data.
Health Behavior The "Theories At A Glance" manual discussed a variety of healthy behaviors. Select two theories that can be used to explain why people behave the way they do. Discuss the basic premise and constructs of the theories you choose. Cite two examples of how each theory could be used to explain a health behavior. Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) The relationship that exists between behavior and attitudes, beliefs and intention

Health Policy to Prevent and Manage Diabetes Health Issue and affected Population In the United States and other part of the world, the type 2 diabetes have become a major health concern for policy makers and health planners. Although, there are three types of diabetes, however 90% of people diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes, which is one of the predominant non-communicable diseases. The type 2 diabetes is one of the
Nursing There are many diseases that can be treated if they are detected at an early stage. A number of such diseases include cancers including colon, cervical and breast cancers. All of the mentioned diseases can be fatal if they are not treated in a timely manner. For treatment in a timely manner, it is important that the disease is detected while it is still benign and not that harmful. For
Therefore, I would tell the patient that their symptoms should not be considered in isolation of their whole person. Websites that address symptoms only are not taking into account the wealth of factors that can influence the diagnosis of a specific disease. At the same time, patients have the right to know about alternative solutions other than those provided or suggested by the physician or health care organization. Sometimes insurance
Diabetes and Obesity: What Are the Choices? Diabetes is becoming an increasingly serious health problem across the United States, and indeed across the world. The majority of cases of diabetes, both in terms of new diagnoses and of current cases, are those of Type II diabetes, which is a condition generally brought on by overweight or obesity and lack of exercise, that prevents an individual's body from being able to metabolize
