Abstract: | Ethnicity is a complex yet important construct and an independent risk factor for diabetic heart disease (DHD) with paramount clinical significance. Clinicians should try to better understand the role of ethnicity through more questions. The risk of DHD is modified by ethnicity through more questions. The risk of DHD is modified by ethnicity, and its management may require a culturally sensitive individualized approach. Findings from Caucasian populations cannot be fully extrapolated to other ethnic groups, thereby emphasizing the importance of future research with ethnicity-based threshold for obesity. Available limited data support the interaction between genetic predisposition, environmental risk, and lifestyle choices and disparities based on ethnicity as the likely cause for ethnic variations in DHD. |
