Overview

Systematic review reveals ethnic differences in T2D risk factors, highlighting obesity and women's health implications.

Key Points

  • Diverse ethnic backgrounds show 2-4-fold higher incidence of T2D compared to White individuals, suggesting significant disparities.
  • Waist-to-hip ratio is a more effective marker for T2D across ethnic groups than body mass index, indicating a need for targeted metrics.
  • The association between BMI and T2D is strongest in White individuals, while Black groups show a stronger link with waist-to-hip ratio.
  • Sex-specific health factors, including parity and breastfeeding, critically influence T2D risk among diverse ethnic populations.
