Abstract

Diabetes was apparently rare among Native Americans until the middle part of the twentieth century. However, since World War II diabetes has become one of the most common serious diseases in many Native American tribes. The Pima Indians of Arizona have the world's highest prevalence and incidence of diabetes, and there is firm evidence that the incidence of diabetes in this community has increased during the past few decades. This chapter describes the magnitude of diabetes prevalence and incidence in Native Americans, reviews the risk factors for the disease, and summarizes the epidemiology of vascular and non-vascular complications of diabetes.
