Geographical distribution of diabetes among the native population of Canada: A national survey

Environments and Cardiometabolic Diseases in Aboriginal Populations

“…[45,46] and remote [47] populations. These results are consistent with a Canadian national survey [48] which found that diabetes prevalence decreased as northern latitude increased with the highest rates observed in southern latitudes ecologically corresponding to areas of greatest urban development. Yet a recent survey indicated that diabetes incidence in Alberta, Canada, did not vary between rural and urban Aboriginal people [49].…”

Diabetes in American Indians: An overview

“…Although Plains Indians have not been studied extensively, rates of diabetes in these tribes appeared to be high. These findings are similar to the recently published study of diabetes in Canadian Indians using similar methods (9). Note that diabetes rates were two to five times greater than rates among all other Canadians, except in Brit- ish Columbia, the Yukon, and the Northwest Territories.…”

The current status of diabetes care, diabetic retinopathy screening and eye-care in British Columbia’s First Nations Communities

“…The community-reported rate of diabetes ranged from 4.8 to 11.8%, with a provincial average of 6.4%. We observed no geographic gradient in diabetes prevalence as has been found in other studies (1).…”
