Once upon a time, there was a small country called Bobistan. Bobistan had, overall, a fairly healthy population. However, in Bobawa, the capital city, there has been a rise in the number of people with Type 2 diabetes in the last 5 years. Bobistan is a relatively flat country, with a population of only 1.6 million people. In the last 10 years, Bobistonians have moved away from their traditional diets, and started importing foods- in fact, a well-known fast-food chain recently opened up in the middle of Bobawa. Traditionally, most people travelled on horseback, but now things like cars and motorcycles are being seen more frequently. In addition, there are now more doctors than there used to be, and women are able to see a physician during their pregnancy routinely. Question Using the 3 epidemiological paradigms with supportive arguments, discuss the possible causal factors for this sudden rise.
