      Obesity: Haitian Americans and African Americans, with and without Type 2 
      Diabetes Mellitus.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Metabolic outcomes of obesity and its associated disorders may not be 
      equivalent across ethnicity and diabetes status. AIM: In this paper, we examined 
      the association of abdominal obesity, by ethnicity and diabetes status, for 
      indicators of glucose metabolism in Blacks. METHODS: A cross sectional study was 
      conducted in Haitian Americans (n= 186) and African Americans (n= 148) with and 
      without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Student's t-test and Chi-squared test 
      were used to assess differences in mean and proportion values between ethnicities 
      with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Relationship between insulin 
      resistance, ethnicity, diabetes status, abdominal obesity, and adiponectin levels 
      were analyzed by analysis of covariance while controlling for confounding 
      variables. RESULTS: Haitian American participants were older (P = .032), had 
      higher fasting plasma glucose (P = .036), and A1C (P = .016), but had lower 
      levels of Hs-CRP (P < .001), insulin and HOMA2-IR and lower abdominal obesity (P 
      = .030), than African Americans. Haitian Americans had significantly lower 
      HOMA2-IR (P = .008) than African Americans when comparing both ethnicities with 
      T2DM, high abdominal obesity, and adiponectin levels lower than the median 
      (<14.75 ng/mL). CONCLUSION: The clinical significance of observed differences in 
      insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, and adiponectin levels between Haitian 
      Americans and African Americans could assist in forming public health policies 
      that are ethnic specific.
