OBJECTIVE—To examine ethnic differences in risk of type 2 diabetes, taking dietary and lifestyle risk factors into account. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A prospective (1980–2000) cohort (from The Nurses’ Health Study) including 78,419 apparently healthy women (75,584 whites, 801 Asians, 613 Hispanics, and 1,421 blacks) was studied. Detailed dietary and lifestyle information for each participant was repeatedly collected every 4 years. RESULTS—During 1,294,799 person-years of follow-up, we…

A higher dietary diabetes risk reduction score was inversely associated with risk of type 2 diabetes in all racial and ethnic groups, but the absolute risk difference was greater in minority women.

In postmenopausal women across all racial/ethnic groups, WC was a better predictor of diabetes risk, especially for Asian women, and better anthropometric measures that reflect trunk-to-leg fat ratio may improve diabetes risk assessment for black women.

Racial/ethnic disparities in diabetes prevalence have become most pronounced among normal and overweight groups, and Eliminating racial/ethnic disparity in diabetes will require prevention efforts not only in obese minority individuals, but also in normal and weight-related minority individuals.

Despite large racial/ethnic differences in diabetes incidence, the majority of diabetes cases are preventable, and risk reduction strategies can be effectively applied to all racial/ ethnic groups.
Ethnic comparison of the association of undiagnosed diabetes with obesity

Prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes increased with an increasing BMI or waist circumference to a similar degree in men in all ethnic groups but to a lesser degree in Asian Indian women than inOthers, regardless of the higher prevalence in Asian Indians than in others at the same BMI (or) waist circumference levels.
