Diabetes Among The Pima Indians Of Arizona.

Description:

The Pima tribe of American Indians in Arizona presents a natural group for the critical study of diabetes as far as certain predisposing factors are concerned. This paper deals with factors involved in establishing a working public health program during the years 1954-1955 and compares diabetes as it then existed among the Pima Indians with diabetes of the white population of the United States (as recorded by Joslin) and then discusses genetic factors, body build, and diet as these might relate to the high incidence of diabetes in the Pima tribe.
