Abstract

Previous studies have suggested that there may be a possible relationship between type 2 diabetes and health-related behaviors such as consuming alcohol, smoking and pregnancy. However, there is little data exploring the association between diabetes and health-related behaviors in a general US population of adult males, and the findings of earlier studies are limitied. This study's goal is to investigate the relationship between type 2 diabetes and health-related behaviors among adult men from the US. This study used several models and a method to evaluate the relationship between type 2 diabetes and risk factors through the BRFSS 2015 results. The comprehensive results of all variations suggest that high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high BMI, history of myocardial infarction or coronary heart disease, having serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs, bad general health condition, high ages, lower income are dangerous risk behaviors for getting diabetes in US male adults.
