How Healthy Are We?
Studying Diseases That Affect North Dakotans
Improving the quality of life for people of North Dakota and the Northern Plains is a tenet that undergirds the mission of the University of North Dakota (UND) School of Medicine and Health Sciences. It’s a guiding force that motivates our efforts on a daily basis.
Those who live in this region face diseases common to all Americans. Some of those diseases occur here at higher rates than in other parts of the United States. Many are lifestyle-related and could be prevented by not smoking and by adopting healthier habits of nutrition and physical activity.
What is the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences doing to find answers to increase our understanding of disease that will lead to better treatments and to improve the lives of people, especially children, through health promotion? In this issue, we highlight a few of the studies that are aimed at the most critical challenges to our health and well-being. They offer hope for enhancing the quality of life for people in this state and region.
