“…SAs originate from the Indian subcontinent and represent one fifth of the world's population. Both native and migrant SAs are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with Caucasians (Cs) (2)(3)(4). Not only is the prevalence of type 2 diabetes four to six times higher, but it also occurs at a younger age and lower BMI (4)(5)(6).…”

A 5-Day High-Fat, High-Calorie Diet Impairs Insulin Sensitivity in Healthy, Young South Asian Men but Not in Caucasian Men

South Asians (SAs) develop type 2 diabetes at a younger age and lower BMI compared with Caucasians (Cs). The underlying cause is still poorly understood but might result from an innate inability to adapt to the Westernized diet. This study aimed to compare the metabolic adaptation to a high-fat, high-calorie (HFHC) diet between both ethnicities. Twelve healthy, young lean male SAs and 12 matched Cs underwent a two-step hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp with skeletal muscle biopsies and indirect calorimetry before and after a 5-day HFHC diet. Hepatic triglyceride content (HTG) and abdominal fat distribution were assessed using magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. At baseline, SAs had higher insulin clamp levels than Cs, indicating reduced insulin clearance rate. Despite the higher insulin levels, endogenous glucose production was comparable between groups, suggesting lower hepatic insulin sensitivity in SAs. Furthermore, a 5-day HFHC diet decreased the insulin-stimulated (nonoxidative) glucose disposal rate only in SA. In skeletal muscle, no significant differences were found between groups in insulin/mammalian target of rapamycin signaling, metabolic gene expression, and mitochondrial respiratory chain content. Furthermore, no differences in (mobilization of) HTG and abdominal fat were detected. We conclude that HFHC feeding rapidly induces insulin resistance only in SAs. Thus, distinct adaptation to Western food may partly explain their propensity to develop type 2 diabetes.

“…Many reports developed risk scores to identify subjects with undiagnosed DM to receive standard 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) [3][4][5][6][7][8]. The European Association for the Study of Diabetes and the European Society of Cardiology recommended that primary screening should be done by non-invasive risk scores followed by confirmatory OGTT [9].…”

“…In the Netherlands, the prevalence among the Hindustani Surinamese, who are of South Asian origin, is about four times greater than the prevalence among the ethnic Dutch (4) . Given this high risk of diabetes, efforts have been made to develop lifestyle interventions that are culturally targeted to the South Asian population at risk (5,6) .…”

Objective: To evaluate the association between risk perception and attendance in a diabetes prevention programme among South Asians with a high risk for diabetes. Design: An observational study. We measured risk perception during the baseline interview with causal beliefs, perceived susceptibility and perceived controllability. We used logistic regression to examine the relationship between risk perception and attendance. We adjusted for relevant sociodemographic factors, screening results and psychosocial factors. Setting: The Hague, the Netherlands. Subjects: Five hundred and thirty-five Hindustani Surinamese (South Asians) aged 18-60 years from a lifestyle-versus-control intervention for the prevention of diabetes. Results: In total, 68·2 % attended the lifestyle or control intervention. Participants perceived lifestyle and heredity to increase the risk of diabetes and perceived increasing physical activity to decrease it. Only 44·2 % of the participants perceived themselves as susceptible to diabetes and only those who perceived a family history of diabetes as a cause of diabetes appeared to be more inclined to attend. However, after adjustment for confounding, the association was not statistically significant. Conclusions: Risk perception was not significantly associated with attendance. The results suggest that increasing the risk perception alone in this South Asian population is unlikely to increase the attendance at a diabetes prevention programme.
