Diabetes incidence in a high-risk UK population at 7 years : linkage of the Prevention of Diabetes and Obesity in South Asians (PODOSA) trial to the Scottish Diabetes Register

South Asians are at high risk of type 2 diabetes when living in urbanized environments. In Europe, South Asians have a prevalence of type 2 diabetes approximately four times greater than their white European counterparts, developing the disease and complications, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke and kidney disease, earlier.
