Prevalence and socioeconomic factors of diabetes: a population-based cross-sectional analysis from Jordan
The study findings emphasise the need for specifically tailored and delivered public health interventions targeting individuals with challenging socioeconomic factors such as older age and low educational attainment. Healthcare providers and policymakers should focus on delivering and sponsoring educational and awareness programmes to promote self-care and the adoption of health-seeking lifestyle behaviours and practices among unprivileged and at-risk local communities. Healthcare authorities could initiate community-based diabetes screening programmes targeting marginalised and at-risk groups.
