Project Assignment: Selection Of Alteration In Health Diseas

Project Assignment Selection Of Alteration In Health Diseasethis I

Project Assignment - Selection of Alteration in Health (Disease) This is the first submission for this project. Please select an alteration in health (disease) that you would like to work on. Be sure to select a disease that has enough information and depth to meet the project requirements. Describe the selection in one paragraph and why you chose it. You may use your textbook or other resources for your selection. The disease selected must be approved by your instructor before you continue on to the next project assignment.

Paper For Above instruction

For this project, I have chosen to focus on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus as the health alteration. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency, leading to hyperglycemia. This disease is highly prevalent worldwide, impacting diverse populations across different age groups, particularly adults but increasingly affecting younger individuals due to lifestyle changes. I selected this condition because of its significant health implications, including cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy, which make it a comprehensive subject for exploring the pathophysiology, management, and societal impact of a disease. Additionally, the extensive research and resources available on diabetes will facilitate a thorough understanding and enable me to meet the depth required for this project. The rising global incidence and the potential for prevention through lifestyle modifications make Type 2 Diabetes an important and relevant disease to study, contributing to both academic knowledge and practical healthcare applications.
