Effects of migration on glucose metabolism of the population / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Most migrations occur movement from less developed regions to developed areas ( most of which involve people migrating from South Asia to Europe) . Migrants had a higher risk of diabetes in the migratory population than that in the locals, earlier of illness, more severe insulin resistance, and more likely failure of pancreaticβcell function, which lead to increased complications such as macrovasular and microvascular diseases. These differences may be related to the genetic, epigenetic, lifestyle, as well as the social security of the migrant population.
