Diabetes in African Americans

Please choose Diabetes in African Americans as the subject. (use some of this article as a reference for my paper because it comes from my online library) 2018 FEB 3 (NewsRx) — By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Obesity, Fitness & Wellness Week — Fresh data on Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases and Conditions – Type 2 Diabetes are presented in a new report. According to news reporting originating from Indianapolis, Indiana, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “The relationship between genetic risk variants associated with glucose homeostasis and type 2 diabetes risk has yet to be fully explored in African American populations. We pooled data from 4 prospective studies including 4622 African Americans to assess whether b-cell dysfunction (BCD) and/or insulin resistance (IR) genetic variants were associated with increased type 2 diabetes risk.” Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Indiana University, “The BCD genetic risk score (GRS) and combined BCD/IR GRS were significantly associated with increased type 2 diabetes risk. In cardiometabolic-stratified models, the BCD and IR GRS were associated with increased type 2 diabetes risk among 5 cardiometabolic strata: 3 clinically healthy strata and 2 clinically unhealthy strata. Genetic risk scores related to BCD and IR were associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes in African Americans.” According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Notably, the GRSs were significant predictors of type 2 diabetes among individuals in clinically normal ranges of cardiometabolic traits.” For more information on this research see: Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Risk Scores Are Associated With Increased Type 2 Diabetes Risk Among African Americans by Cardiometabolic Status.
