Why the study?
Are higher adiponectin levels associated with a reduced incidence of type 2 diabetes in Hispanic and African American individuals?
Are higher adiponectin levels associated with a reduced incidence of type 2 diabetes in Hispanic and African American individuals?
The inverse association between adiponectin and incident type 2 diabetes is attenuated by adjustment for insulin sensitivity, suggesting the link operates partly through insulin resistance.
Association attenuated by insulin sensitivity adjustment; leaves open whether adiponectin is causal or a marker in these groups.
