A report to the Community regarding the Marion County Public Health Department delivering on all of the ten essential services of public health. These services are: monitoring health, diagnosing and investigating health hazards, informing and educating about health issues, mobilizing partnerships, developing health policies, enforcing environmental laws, access to care, assuring a competent public health workforce, evaluating health services, and researching public health concerns.
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington analyzed the performance of all 3,142 US counties or county-equivalents in terms of life expectancy at birth, mortality rates for select causes, alcohol use, smoking prevalence, obesity prevalence, and recommended physical activity using novel small area estimation techniques and the most up-to-date county-level information.
Marion County prevalence increased over 60 percent from 2000-2008, to 10.0% of adults (over 62,000 cases) but is not statistically different than national or state rates. Marion County’s 2008 prevalence is four times the Health People 2010 target for diabetes prevalence of 2.5% among adults. Marion County Black residents have a 60% higher prevalence rate than White residents and 33% higher rate than Hispanic residents.
County health rankings provides diabetes prevalence among Indiana adults, by county. Counties can be compared and contrasted with easy data export.
In collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company, the Fairbanks School of Public Health has launched a new neighborhood-based pilot in three Indianapolis neighborhoods to address the high incidence of diabetes. The $7 million, five-year program will focus on three Indianapolis neighborhoods with significant health disparities and high rates of diabetes – the Northeast, Northwest and Near West neighborhoods – and is being led by Lisa Stanten.
The long-term goal of this project is to reduce diabetes-related complications and to ultimately reduce the rate of diabetes in three Indianapolis neighborhoods. The three communities were selected based on high prevalence of diabetes, demographic factors and highly engaged community members and organizations.
The ABC’s of Diabetes Self-Management Education/Support program of the Marion County Public Health Department is committed to providing adults with diabetes, pre-diabetes, and their families and significat others with ready access to educational services and information in the area of managing and preventing diabetes. The program aims to empower individuals with diabetes to achieve and maintain good health, prevent complications that may develop from uncontrolled diabetes, and to increase knowledge and skills for successful diabetes self-management. The program will also provide education to individuals with pre-diabetes to delay or prevent type 2 diabetes.
The ABCs of Diabetes program is accredited by the American Association of Diabetes Educators. This four-part series includes instruction on medications, nutrition, exercise, monitoring, complications and available community resources. This program is free and open to anyone with diabetes, pre-diabetes, family members and friends.
Diabetes prevalence among Marion County adults increased 9.8% between 2003 and 2014 but is similar to prevalence in Indiana and the U.S. Prevalence among African Americans was found to be 69% higher than among White residents and four times higher than among Hispanic residents during 2014. Diabetes hospitalizations and diabetes-related limb amputations also increased. Despite a trend of declining diabetes mortality rates, diabetes remained the 8th leading cause of death in Marion County during 2014 and the 7th leading cause nationally (2013). (DR2851).
The prevalence of obesity in Marion County adults was 27.4 per 100,000 residents in 2016 as compared to 24.7 per 100,000 in 2003. The change in diabetes prevalence was more noticeable, increasing from 8.6 per 100,000 in 2003 to 13.4 per 100,000. (DR3605).
Life expectancy and other health measures were used in this fact sheet to illustrate differences in health equity among Marion County residents. Life expectancy in Marion County has been stable since 2007 and is similar to that in Indiana and the U.S. overall, but differs within Marion County by both race and place. African American residents experienced a life expectancy of 73.7 years in 2016, compared to 78.3 years for white residents. The diabetes mortality rate among African Americans (39 per 100,000) was also higher than that of their white peers (25 per 100,000). Breast feeding initiation rates are also provided in this fact sheet, DR3780.
Summary report on results of the 2012 Marion County Community Health Assessment (CHA) survey.
During 2016, black, non-Hispanic adults had a higher prevalence of diabetes than their white, non-Hispanic and Hispanic counterparts, DR3535.
Accidents continue to be a top cause of death among middle age residents in Marion County, DR3563.
