Health changes frequently sneak upon us. Sometimes the changes are so trivial, we don't even notice a change in our health at all, until they start to affect our ability to do the things important to us. Some of the diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes are known as silent killers. 1 in 5 US adults have high blood pressure and 1 in 4 have diabetes. Unfortunately, majority do not know that they have diabetes and/or high blood pressure, may start as early as age 20. Further, more than 1 in 3 Americans will face a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime.
By raising health awareness in the community about important health issues can reduce ill-health and premature deaths from diseases that are treatable, especially many kinds of cancers. If cancers are caught early by screening, when it is easier to treat, and the five-year survival rate is more than 90%. Hence, 'health awareness' is essential for prevention, early detection, targeted therapy and is key to ensuring most effective treatment. “Timely, age & sex related recommended preventive measures can save more than 100,000 lives every year” (CDC).
The Muslim population is growing in the US, not many health-related studies have been done and not much information is available. The enclosed survey is to raise health awareness and simultaneously to study the health status of the Muslim community. This will help in developing health programs in the future to improve the overall health of the community.
