Decline in incidence of epidemic glucose intolerance in Nauruans: implications for the "thrifty genotype".

American journal of epidemiology - 1 Jun 1991

Dowse G K, Zimmet P Z, Finch C F, Collins V R

Abstract excerpt

Trends in the prevalence and incidence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance were studied in Micronesian Nauruans aged 20 years and above, by linking glucose tolerance data collected during population surveys performed in 1975/1976, 1982, and 1987. Based on World Health Organization criteria, the age-standardized prevalence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus has...
