- Title
Understanding racial differences in obesity and metabolic syndrome traits.
- Authors
Fernández, José R; Allison, David B
- Abstract
Epidemiologic data demonstrate a positive association between obesity and certain measures related to the metabolic syndrome that differ among individuals of different ethnic/racial backgrounds. The effect of genetic and environmental factors on these differences is not completely understood; however, insightful information can be obtained by taking into account the degree of ancestral admixture in populations.
