Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
- The study population is all persons aged 5 years and over residing on the Gila River Indian Reservation in Arizona. The vast majority of the eligible subjects are American Indians and there are similar numbers of males and females in the population. The study population was chosen because our previous work has shown that this population has the highest prevalence of Type 2 diabetes in the world. There are small numbers of other racial groups in the selected population who are also eligible to participate in the study. They are mainly members of the families in the community and therefore by participating they can contribute valuable research information to the study. All persons resident in the community aged 5 years and over are invited to participate in the study at two-yearly intervals. In addition, other tribal members and selected family members such as first or second degree relatives of the study population who reside, or have moved off the Reservation, are also eligible to participate.
