Question

question 15 (5 points) what is an example of a primary prevention strategy for reducing the incidence of type 2 diabetes in a population? 1) insulin therapy for individuals with diabetes 2) implementing regular eye screenings for diabetic retinopathy 3) promoting a healthy diet and regular physical activity 4) cardiac rehabilitation for individuals with heart disease

Explanation:

Primary prevention aims to prevent a disease from occurring. A healthy diet and regular physical activity can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in a population. Insulin therapy is for those already with diabetes (secondary - treatment), eye screenings for diabetic retinopathy are secondary prevention (detecting early complications in those with diabetes), and cardiac rehabilitation is for heart - disease patients, not related to diabetes prevention.

Answer:

1. Promoting a healthy diet and regular physical activity
