BRFSS-2013 Draw an Association between High BP and Diabetic with Income Levels, Status of Employment and Education Levels
COVID19 pandemic has hit the world hard. It has taken toll on the economy and the human life alike. But the biggest sufferers are those who are elderly or suffer co-morbid diseases. Most widely prevalent among the co-morbid diseases are diabetes and hyper-tension. As a keen observer and practitioner of public policy, through this research paper, using BRFSS 2013 data, using three separate set of mandated questions (in the Duke University course), I have made an attempt, to draw an association between these two co-morbid conditions (diabetes and hyper-tension) with the three set of variables namely, a) Income Levels, b) Education Levels and c) Status of Employment. Further, I have made an attempt, within each set of questions, to explore any association of different results for males and females.
