FDA昨日發布: 對抗糖尿病對少數族裔的致命影響 (鏈接: Fighting Diabetes' Deadly Impact on Minorities)
誰患有糖尿病? 各族裔的糖尿病患病比例:
Who has diabetes? According to the National Health Interview Survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Census Bureau:
- 17.5% of American Indians/Alaska natives (美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民占17.5%)
- 16.3% of American Indians/Native Americans (美洲印第安人/土著美國人占16.3%)
- 13.2% of Hispanics (西班牙裔占13.2%)
- 12.9% of non-Hispanic blacks (非西班牙裔黑人占12.9%)
- 9.1% of Asian Americans (亞裔美國人占9.1%)
- 7.6% of non-Hispanic whites 18 and older (非西班牙裔的18歲以上的白人占7.6%)
環境因素和遺傳因素:
Why these groups are more at risk is a complex question with no simple answer. For the most part, it's related to both environmental and genetic factors. "There appears to be a genetic predisposition for diabetes among Native Americans," Bull says.
