Insulin resistance in Chileans of European and indigenous descent: evidence for an ethnicity x environment interaction.

<h4>Background</h4>Effects of urbanisation on diabetes risk appear to be greater in indigenous populations worldwide than in populations of European origin, but the reasons are unclear. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine whether the effects of environment (Rural vs. Urban), ad...
