Prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Ethiopian immigrants.

A Rubinstein1, E Graf, E Landau, L H Reisin, U Goldbourt.   

Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus among 445 new immigrant Ethiopian Jews was studied immediately after their arrival to Israel, and found to be 0.4%. This low prevalence could be attributed to their long trek accompanied by severe malnutrition which caused death to the old, weak and sick, leaving a selectively young and healthy population group.
