Diabetes i Grønland
Three population studies of more than 4,000 Greenlanders found a notably high prevalence of diabetes (9% in 1999-2001 rising to 16% in 2018) in the adult population. In this review, we argue that this is due to genetic factors, rapid social changes, ageing of the population and changes in diet and p...
