FDA昨日发布: 对抗糖尿病对少数族裔的致命影响 (链接: Fighting Diabetes' Deadly Impact on Minorities)

谁患有糖尿病? 各族裔的糖尿病患病比例:

Who has diabetes? According to the National Health Interview Survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Census Bureau:

• 17.5% of American Indians/Alaska natives (美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民占17.5%)
• 16.3% of American Indians/Native Americans (美洲印第安人/土著美国人占16.3%)
• 13.2% of Hispanics (西班牙裔占13.2%)
  
• 12.9% of non-Hispanic blacks (非西班牙裔黑人占12.9%)
• 9.1% of Asian Americans (亚裔美国人占9.1%)
• 7.6% of non-Hispanic whites 18 and older (非西班牙裔的18岁以上的白人占7.6%)

环境因素和遗传因素:

Why these groups are more at risk is a complex question with no simple answer. For the most part, it's related to both environmental and genetic factors. "There appears to be a genetic predisposition for diabetes among Native Americans," Bull says.
