Obesity: Results and findings

The results of the findings in the survey conducted clearly identify obesity as a significant problem amongst the African American women living with type 2 diabetes. According to the study, proper nutrition and exercise is the avenue to positive effect against obesity which is also consequential to a healthier lifestyle for the persons who have been able to implement measures of diet modification as well as regular exercise. The study also revealed that, modification of dietary suggestions and its strict adherence plays a vital role in prevention and controlling type 2 diabetes (Franz, 2007). This verdict is indicated by the participants of the study who were graded at an overall achievement score based on analysis of the researcher on the rate at which persons exerted energy as well as during physical exercise.

The results were also indicative of a direct proportional response to high energy exertion to individualized weight loss and improvement in biological glycemic as well as insulin levels. This trend was consistent with all age groups that were involved in the study. The study also indicated an overall change in weight, glycemic control and insulin levels based on five unique age groups which on the overall indicated a change in weight levels

The statistical analyses that the researcher utilized to defend selection involved the use of simple quantitative statistical analysis that was meant to examine some changes in biological levels considering cumulative averages. The researcher preferred the use of multivariate quantitative analysis as they demonstrated effectiveness of intervention strategies that were applicable in the course of entire study (Miller, Marolen & Beech, 2010). The strength of the three variables was based on their potential to translate to the overall decline in unfavorable biological effects resulting from diabetes.
