Summary
La adherencia a la utilización de los agentes hipoglucemiantes orales es de vital importancia para disminuir los resultados negativos de salud en poblaciones con alto riesgo de desarrollar diabetes y las complicaciones crónicas asociadas a esta enfermedad. El objetivo de este estudio era identificar las características de los pacientes de Hawaii menos propensos a adherirse a la utilización de los agentes hipoglucemiantes orales.

Gathering Data on Cancer Survivors

Summary
ehavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) provides state-specific benchmarks for cancer prevention (tobacco use, nutrition, physical activity, and weight gain as measured by obesity) and early detection (mammograms, Pap tests, and colorectal and prostate cancer screening tests). But little information has been gathered about cancer survivors. New questions on the BRFSS survey will help public health professionals determine cancer prevalence in their states.

Summary
QuickStats: Percentage of Men Aged >40 Years* with Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Levels of >2.5 and >4.0 ng/mL, by Race/Ethnicity --- National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, United States, 2001--2004 Although screening for prostate cancer using the PSA test is common, clinicians are divided over whether the screening test is effective and whether a lower PSA threshold should be used to refer patients for prostate biopsy to rule out cancer. A PSA level of >4.0 ng/mL is the common threshold; however, certain researchers have recommended lowering the level to >2.5 ng/mL. During 2001--2004, approximately 6.2% (3.6 million) of men aged >40 years in the United States had a PSA level of >4.0 ng/mL, and approximately 13.1% had a PSA of >2.5 ng/mL. Differences among racial/ethnic groups tested were not statistically significant.

Guidelines for School Health Programs to Promote Lifelong Healthy Eating

Summary
Healthy eating patterns in childhood and adolescence promote optimal childhood health, growth, and intellectual development; prevent immediate health problems, such as iron deficiency anemia, obesity, eating disorders, and dental caries; and may prevent long-term health problems, such as coronary heart disease, cancer, and stroke. School health programs can help children and adolescents attain full educational potential and good health by providing them with the skills, social support, and environmental reinforcement they need to adopt long-term, healthy eating behaviors.This report summarizes strategies most likely to be effective in promoting healthy eating among school-age youths and provides nutrition education guidelines for a comprehensive school health program. These guidelines are based on a review of research, theory, and current practice, and they were developed by CDC in collaboration with experts from universities and from national, federal, and voluntary agencies.The guidelines include recommendations on seven aspects of a school-based program to promote healthy eating: school policy on nutrition, a sequential, coordinated curriculum, appropriate instruction for students, integration of school food service and nutrition education, staff training, family and community involvement, and program evaluation.
