在1981年人口普查中，在伦敦西部的Southall地区对已知糖尿病患者进行了挨家挨户的调查，其中包括34000多名亚洲人和27000多名欧洲人：确定了1143名糖尿病患者，其中761名是亚洲人，324名是欧洲人。根据年龄调整后的已知糖尿病患病率，亚洲人至少是欧洲人的3.8倍。对于40至64岁的患者，这一比例至少高出5倍，60至69岁的亚洲人超过12%，50至59岁的亚洲人超过8%。这些数据对于在拥有大量亚裔社区的卫生区规划糖尿病患者的护理具有重要意义。这种异常高流行率的原因和后来的后果需要进一步研究。
A house to house inquirty for patients with known diabetes was carried out in a defined area of Southall, west London [England UK], which contained over 34000 Asians and 27000 Europeans in the 1981 Census: 1143 diabetic patients were ascertained, of whom 761 were Asian and 324 European. The prevalence adjusted for age of known diabetes in Asians was at least 3.8 times higher than that in Europeans. For patients aged between 40 and 64 years it was at least five times higher, was over 12% in Asians aged 60-69, and over 8% in those aged 50-59. These data are important in planning for the care of diabetic patients in health districts with large Asian communities. The causes and later consequences of this exceptionally high prevalence require further study.
