Mortality related to cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus in a modernizing population

High impact of nephropathy on five‐year mortality rates among patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus from a multi‐ethnic population in New Zealand

“…An excess of diabetes‐related deaths was expected among these two Polynesian groups as death certificates had previously demonstrated an excess mortality as a result of diabetes among Maori[9] and American Samoans[11]. In the latter study, an age‐standardized rate of diabetes mortality among American Samoans was double that of the general population of the United States.…”

Renin, ANP, ACE polymorphisms, blood pressure and age in American Samoans: Preliminary data

“…In addition, ACE I/D heterozygotes were relatively underrepresented among older American Samoans (P < .01) after known relatives were eliminated from the sample. Perhaps, one of many reasons why the population of American Samoa does not show the high levels of mortality from cardiovascular diseases that one might predict from their high levels of obesity, frequent hypertension, and highly prevalent diabetes, is their relative lack of ACE D alleles at older ages (see Crews and MacKeen, 1982).…”
