DISCUSSION:
Diabetes is an epidemic and a public health crisis in Texas. During the 2003 City of Fort Worth Public
Health Department Community Needs Assessment, 6 out of the 12 Neighborhood Police Districts surveyed
ranked diabetes No. 1 as their greatest household health problem.
Poor eating habits, being overweight and lack of physical activity attribute to 90 percent of diabetes
diagnosis. More than 60 percent of American adults do not get enough physical activity and more than 25
percent are not active at all. The City of Fort Worth is no exception. According to the 2003 City of Fort
Worth Public Health Community Needs Assessment 21.3 percent to 40 percent surveyed identified not
exercising. Along with 82.5 percent to 90.8 percent surveyed identified eating fewer than five servings of
fruits and vegetables a day.
The City of Fort Worth Public Health Department Diabetes Program was awarded funding in September
2003 for afour-year program renewal to provide the following but not limited to:
