The Bedouin Arab population in the southern Negev region of Israel has faced health problems as a result of transitioning rapidly from a nomadic agricultural lifestyle to a more modern urban lifestyle. Like many populations around the world, the Bedouins have changed their diets and become more sedentary and this has led to a high rate of diabetes. In this case report, we examine how diabetes has affected the life of an influential man in the Bedouin community and the significance this case has in the greater context of a global rise in chronic disease.
以色列内盖夫地区南部的贝都因阿拉伯人群体，由于迅速从游牧农业生活方式转变为更现代的城市生活方式，面临着健康问题。与世界上许多人群一样，贝都因人改变了饮食习惯，变得更加久坐不动，这导致了糖尿病的高发病率。在本病例报告中，我们研究了糖尿病如何影响了贝都因社区一位有影响力的男性的生活，以及该病例在全球慢性病发病率上升的大背景下所具有的意义。
