Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of diabetes in relation to birth weight in Pima Indians. DESIGN: Follow up study of infants born during 1940-72 who had undergone a glucose tolerance test at ages 20-39 years. SETTING: Gila River Indian community, Arizona. SUBJECTS: 1179 American Indians. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Prevalence of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (plasma glucose concentration > or = 11.1...
