Harjo et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors (n=43,020). Native American ethnicity vs. Caucasians was evaluated on Prevalence of diabetes (OR 3.09, 95% CI 1.92-4.96, p=<0.01). Native American adults in California had a significantly higher prevalence of diabetes compared to Caucasians (14.9% vs 6.0%; OR 3.09, 95% CI 1.92-4.96, P<0.01).
