The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing, with sub-Saharan Africa having the highest projected increase. Notably, the way T2D develops differs by ethnicity, but risk stratification...
This project aim to study mechanisms underlying the very high occurrence of type 2 diabetes in black South African Women. This can be possible via collected blood samples from a unique cohort of women...
Obesity is closely linked the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D), a leading cause of death worldwide. Within low-to-middle income countries, the projected increase in T2D from 2010 to 2030 is estimated...
