review of national benchmark data, number of residents
affected and the potential impact on community health
and wellness.

Diabetes. Diabetes occurs when
the body cannot produce or respond
appropriately to insulin. Diabetes lowers
life expectancy, increases the risk of heart
disease and is the leading cause of kidney
failure. The rate of diabetes continues to
increase in the United States and around the
world, however, lifestyle changes have been
proven effective in preventing or delaying
onset in high-risk individuals.
Mental Health13.9% of SAW adults report having been diagnosed with diabetes.
Physical Activity. Regular physical activity can improve the health
and quality of life of Americans, as well as lower the risk of chronic diseases. Adults
should do two hours and 30 minutes a week or moderate-intensity (such as walking)
or one hour and 15 minutes a week of vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity (such
as jogging). The guidelines also recommend that all adults do muscle-strengthening
activities (such as push-ups) on two or more days per week. Children and adolescents
should do 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day.
19.1% of SAW adults find it “very” or “somewhat” difficult to access affordable, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Nutrition. The Office of Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion supports
the health benefits of eating a healthful diet
and maintaining a healthy body weight.
Nutrition & Physical Activity1

66.8% are reported to have had 60 minutes of physical activity on each of the seven days preceding the interview.
51.8% of SAW adults are found to be “insufficiently active” or “inactive” based on reported physical activity intensity, frequency and duration over the past month,
