Genetics of obesity and type 2 diabetes in African Americans.

Journal of obesity - 1 Jan 2013

McCormack Shana, Grant Struan F A

Abstract excerpt

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are highly prevalent and lead to significant morbidity and mortality. In the United States, the impact of these conditions may be worse on historically underserved minorities, particularly African Americans. Genetic ancestry and differences in physiology are unlikely t...
