The cardiometabolic syndrome in persons of the African diaspora: challenges and opportunities.

Journal of the cardiometabolic syndrome - 1 Jan 2007

Schuster Dara P, Gaillard Trudy, Osei Kwame

Abstract excerpt

Unique genetic traits appear to play a role in the increased rates of hypertension (HTN), glucose dysregulation/diabetes (T2DM), and obesity in persons of African descent. Indeed, with increasing rates of westernization/urbanization and concomitant increases in obesity and T2DM, a similar predisposition to the cardiometabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease (CVD) can be seen in Africans compared with persons...
