Genetic epidemiology of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in Africa.

Progress in cardiovascular diseases - 1 Jan 2000

Tekola-Ayele Fasil, Adeyemo Adebowale A, Rotimi Charles N

Abstract excerpt

The burdens of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are increasing in Africa. T2D and CVD are the result of the complex interaction between inherited characteristics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. The epidemic of obesity is largely behind the exploding global incidence of T2D. However, not all obese individuals develop diabetes and positive family history is a powerful risk factor for...
