Context Diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in the United States, affecting millions of Americans each year and placing a substantial financial burden on the economy. It is a serious chronic condition in which the body loses the ability to effectively regulate blood glucose levels, leading to a reduced quality of life and decreased life expectancy. During digestion, food is broken down into sugars, which enter the bloodstream. This triggers the pancreas to release insulin, a hormone that helps cells in the body use these sugars for energy. Diabetes is typically characterized by either insufficient insulin production or the body's inability to use insulin effectively.

Chronic high blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes can lead to severe complications, including heart disease, vision loss, kidney disease, and lower-limb amputation. Although there is no cure for diabetes, strategies such as maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, staying physically active, and receiving medical treatments can help mitigate its effects. Early diagnosis is crucial, as it allows for lifestyle modifications and more effective treatment, making predictive models for assessing diabetes risk valuable tools for public health officials.

The scale of the diabetes epidemic is significant. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as of 2018, approximately 34.2 million Americans have diabetes, while 88 million have prediabetes. Alarmingly, the CDC estimates that 1 in 5 individuals with diabetes and about 8 in 10 individuals with prediabetes are unaware of their condition. Type II diabetes is the most common form, and its prevalence varies based on factors such as age, education, income, geographic location, race, and other social determinants of health. The burden of diabetes disproportionately affects those with lower socioeconomic status. The economic impact is also substantial, with the cost of diagnosed diabetes reaching approximately $327 billion annually, and total costs, including undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes, nearing $400 billion each year.

Content The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a health-related telephone survey that is collected annually by the CDC. Each year, the survey collects responses from over 400,000 Americans on health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and the use of preventative services. It has been conducted every year since 1984. For this project, a XPT of the dataset available on CDC website for the year 2023 was used. This original dataset contains responses from 433,323 individuals and has 345 features. These features are either questions directly asked of participants, or calculated variables based on individual participant responses.

I have selected 20 features from this dataset that are suitable for working on the topic of diabetes, and I have saved them in a CSV file without making any changes to the data. The goal of this is to make it easier to work with the data. For more information or to access updated data, you can refer to the CDC website. I initially examined the original dataset from the CDC and found no duplicate entries. That dataset contains 330 columns and features. Therefore, the duplicate cases in this dataset are not due to errors but rather represent individuals with similar conditions. In my opinion, removing these entries would both introduce errors and reduce accuracy.

Explore some of the following research questions: - Can survey questions from the BRFSS provide accurate predictions of whether an individual has diabetes? - What risk factors are most predictive of diabetes risk? - Can we use a subset of the risk factors to accurately predict whether an individual has diabetes? - Can we create a short form of questions from the BRFSS using feature selection to accurately predict if someone might have diabetes or is at high risk of diabetes?

Acknowledgements It is important to reiterate that I did not create this dataset, it is simply a summarized and reformatted dataset derived from the BRFSS 2023 dataset available on the CDC website. It is also worth noting that none of the data in this dataset discloses individuals' identities.

Inspiration Zidian Xie et al for Building Risk Prediction Models for Type 2 Diabetes Using Machine Learning Techniques using the 2014 BRFSS, and Alex Teboul for building Diabetes Health Indicators dataset based on BRFSS 2015 were the inspiration for creating this dataset and exploring the BRFSS in general.

This table shows inflation, derived inflation and underlying inflation rates. Underlying inflation equals the inflation or derived inflation, excluding certain volatile items or series that are affected by factors other than general economic conditions, for example prices of fuel, vegetables, fruit and government taxes. Data available from: January 2006 till December 2015 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Changes as of 16 June 2016: None, this table is stopped. Changes as of 10 December 2015: On 1 October 2015, the points system for the pricing of rental homes was adjusted by the Dutch national government. As a direct consequence, rental prices of a limited number of dwellings were reduced, which had a downward effect on the average rental price. The effect of this decrease on the rental price indices and imputed rent value could not be determined in time because housing associations announced the impact of rent adjustments only in November. For this reason, the figures of the groups 04100 ‘Actual rentals for housing’ and 04200 ‘Imputed rent value’ over October 2015 have now been adjusted. The figures of the groups 061100 ‘Pharmaceutical products’, 061200 ‘Other medical products, equipment’, 072200 ‘Fuels and lubricants’ and 083000 ‘Telephone and internet services’ over the months June through September 2015 have been corrected. This has no impact on the headline indices. The derived CPI decreased by 0.01 index point over August 2015.

Below the individual file contents are explained. For further questions feel free to write to Falko Ueckerdt (ueckerdt@pik-potsdam.de).

Climate change impact data

File 1: Data_rel-GDPpercapita-changes_withCC_per-country_all-RCP_all-SSP_4GCM.csv

Content: Data of relative change in absolute GDP/CAP levels (compared to the baseline path of the respective SSP in the SSP database) for each country, RCP (and a zero-emissions scenario), SSP and 4 GCMs (spanning a broad range of climate sensitivity). Negative (positive) values indicate losses (gains) due to climate change. For figure 1a of the paper, this data was aggregated for all countries.

File 2: Data_rel-GDPpercapita-changes_withCC_per-country_all-SSP_4GCM_interpolated-for-REMIND-scenarios.csv

Content: Data of relative change in absolute GDP/CAP levels (compared to the baseline path of the respective SSP in the SSP database) for each country, SSP and 4 GCMs (spanning a broad range of climate sensitivity). The RCP (and a zero-emissions scenario) are interpolated to the temperature pathways of the ten REMIND model scenarios used for climate change mitigation costs. Hereby the set of scenarios for climate impacts and climate change mitigation are consistent and can be combined to total costs of climate change (for a broad range of mitigation action).

File 3: Data_rel-GDPpercapita-changes_withCC_per-country_SSP2_12GCM_interpolated-for-REMIND-scenarios.csv

Content: Same as file 2, but only for the SSP2 (chosen default scenario for the study) and for all 12 GCMs. Data of relative change in absolute GDP/CAP levels (compared to the baseline path of the respective SSP in the SSP database) for each country, SSP-2 and 12 GCMs (spanning a broad range of climate sensitivity). The RCP (and a zero-emissions scenario) are interpolated to the temperature pathways of the ten REMIND model scenarios used for climate change mitigation costs. Hereby the set of scenarios for climate impacts and climate change mitigation are consistent and can be combined to total costs of climate change (for a broad range of mitigation action).

In addition, reference GDP and population data (without climate change) for each country until 2100 was downloaded from the SSP database, release Version 1.0 (March 2013, https://tntcat.iiasa.ac.at/SspDb/, last accessed 15Nov 2019).

Climate change mitigation cost data

The scenario design and runs used in this paper have first been conducted in [1] and later also used in [2].

File 4: REMIND_scenario_results_economic_data.csv

File 5: REMIND_scenarios_climate_data.csv

Content: A broad range of climate change mitigation scenarios of the REMIND model. File 4 contains the economic data of e.g. GDP and macro-economic consumption for each of the countries and world regions, as well as GHG emissions from various economic sectors. File 5 contains the global climate-related data, e.g. forcing, concentration, temperature.

In the scenario description “FFrunxxx” (column 2), the code “xxx” specifies the scenario as follows. See [1] for a detailed discussion of the scenarios.

The first dimension specifies the climate policy regime (delayed action, baseline scenarios):

1xx: climate action from 2010
5xx: climate action from 2015
2xx climate action from 2020 (used in this study)
3xx climate action from 2030
4x1 weak policy baseline (before Paris agreement)

The second dimension specifies the technology portfolio and assumptions:

x1x Full technology portfolio (used in this study)
x2x noCCS: unavailability of CCS
x3x lowEI: lower energy intensity, with final energy demand per economic output decreasing faster than historically observed
x4x NucPO: phase out of investments into nuclear energy
x5x Limited SW: penetration of solar and wind power limited
x6x Limited Bio: reduced bioenergy potential p.a. (100 EJ compared to 300 EJ in all other cases)
x6x noBECCS: unavailability of CCS in combination with bioenergy

The third dimension specifies the climate change mitigation ambition level, i.e. the height of a global CO2 tax in 2020 (which increases with 5% p.a.).

xx1 0$/tCO2 (baseline)
xx2 10$/tCO2
xx3 30$/tCO2
xx4 50$/tCO2
xx5 100$/tCO2
xx6 200$/tCO2
xx7 500$/tCO2
xx8 40$/tCO2
xx9 20$/tCO2
xx0 5$/tCO2

For figure 1b of the paper, this data was aggregated for all countries and regions. Relative changes of GDP are calculated relative to the baseline (4x1 with zero carbon price).

Climate change is having profound effects on natural and socio-economic systems, especially via extreme climate events. Using panel data from 129 prefectural-level cities in China from 2013 to 2019, this paper explores the effects of extreme climate on crime rates based on a climate index and manual collection of crime data. The results showed that extreme climate has a significant positive effect on crime rates, increasing by 0.035% for every 1% increase in the extreme climate index. This occurs through two mechanistic pathways: reduced agricultural output and lower employment income. The heterogeneity analysis shows that extreme climate has a greater impact on crime rates in eastern areas which are economically developed and have high levels of immigration. This study provides new perspectives on the impact of extreme climate on the economy and society, in which governments can actively participate in climate governance through environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction, and technological innovation to reduce crime rates by reducing the occurrence of extreme climate.
