A Canadian study shows that compared with whites, South Asians, Chinese and blacks a higher risk of diabetes, older age, illness, body mass index (BMI) range lower. Study emphasizes that the basis of race and develop appropriate prevention strategies to reduce non-white groups, the ideal weight goals is necessary. The study recently published in "Diabetes Care" magazine.
Important risk factor for diabetes - the definition of obesity (BMI ≥ 30kg/m2) is widely used in white communities, however, this definition is suitable for non-white groups is inconclusive. The study compared the whites, South Asians, Chinese and blacks the chance of diabetes, diabetes risk assessment and identified the race-specific BMI threshold.
Researchers living in Ontario, Canada 59 824 aged 30 years and over 30-year-old individuals without diabetes cohort study of a multi-ethnic. Study from Statistics Canada's Population Health Survey, the use of multiple links to health management of their database records for a period of 12.8 years of follow-up to investigate the incidence of diabetes.
The median follow-up time 6 years showed that adjusting for age, gender, socio-demographic characteristics and BMI, the South Asians, Blacks and Chinese risk of diabetes compared with whites was significantly higher. South Asians were diagnosed when the median age (49 years) minimum, followed by China (55 years), blacks (57 years), whites (58 years). And whites BMI ≥ 30kg/m2 considerable incidence of diabetes when the BMI threshold, South artificial 24kg/m2, Chinese people 25kg/m2, black is 26kg/m2.
Previously, researchers through the years 1997-2008 in the U.S. government health survey of 230,500 Americans of information analysis found that Asian Americans have a diabetes prevalence rate from 4% to 8%, while the incidence of white Americans from 4 % to 6%. Asian-Americans than white Americans high risk of diabetes.
