The relationship of body composition, renal impairment and inflammatory cytokines in Indigenous persons with diabetes

澳大利亚土著居民承受着不成比例的心血管疾病、糖尿病和肾衰竭负担。代谢综合征（肥胖、胰岛素抵抗、血脂异常和高血压的组合）是该人群中上述慢性疾病的常见发生和重要危险因素。进一步研究脂肪分布、代谢综合征、心脏病、糖尿病和CKD之间的关系有助于了解和预防这一人群的死亡。

Indigenous Australians bare a disproportionate burden of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and kidney failure. The metabolic syndrome (the combination of obesity, insulin-resistance, abnormal lipids, and hypertension) is a common occurrence and important risk factor for the above chronic conditions in this population. Further study of the relationship of fat distribution, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, diabetes and CKD is of benefit to understand and prevent mortality in this population.
