Summary
This completed study looked at risk factors for diabetes and heart disease in 146 healthy African, African-American, and white women who were federal employees or contractors. Researchers compared things like triglyceride levels and insulin resistance to see if the best screening tests differ by race or ethnicity. Participants had several visits for blood tests, glucose tolerance tests, body fat measurements, and meal tests to gather detailed health information.
