The population health nurse notes that the African American population of the United States has a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. What aspect of this population's diet should the nurse relate to these health problems?
1. High in fat and sugars.
2. Low in processed foods and fat.
3. Low in fiber-rich foods and exercise.
4. High in starchy vegetables and sugars.
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The traditional African American diet that relies on foods high in fat and sugars is connected to the high rates of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in the United States. It also has historical roots in foods that were affordable on very limited incomes, which tended to be the fattier meats and foods with sugar. A diet low in processed food and fats helps to eliminate these risk factors. Fiber rich foods in addition to exercise contribute to cardiovascular and diabetes prevention. While starchy vegetables and sugars can contribute to diabetes, the fat content is a determinant in cardiovascular disease.
