This comprehensive report on the prevalence of major cardiovascular disease risk factors reveals significant variations among American Indian groups that will be useful in targeting preventive interventions.

Diabetes rates in American Indians are many times higher than those in the general US population, with significant regional and gender variations. These rates were positively associated with age, obesity, genetic admixture and parental diabetes.
