    Diabetes in Japanese-Brazilians - Influence of the acculturation process
    (Elsevier B.V., 1996-10-01) Franco, L. J.; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Epidemiologic studies of migrant populations provide very promising clues towards understanding the roles of genetics and environmental factors in the etiology of diabetes mellitus. Populations. of Japanese ancestry are of particular interest due to marked differences in prevalence rates of non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM) when comparing those living in Japan with those who migrated to western countries. Brazil offers very favorable conditions to the study of diabetes in the Japanese origin population. Presently, Brazil has the largest population of Japanese ancestry outside Japan. A cross-sectional study comparing first (Issei) and second (Nisei) generations of Japanese-Brazilians living in the city of Bauru, in the industrialized stare of SBo Paulo, southeast of Brazil, was carried out between May and November 1993. the study sample consisted of all first generation (127 men and 111 women) and a random sample of second generation (136 men and 156 women) aged 40-79 years. Results show that: 1-The prevalence of diabetes in Japanese Brazilians (12.8 and 16.2% for first and second generations) are higher than the rates reported for Japan at comparable age-groups. 2-Comparing generations, the age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes was higher in the second generation only for men (men: 12.4 vs. 21.7%; women: 11.6 vs. 11.4%). 3-Obesity was more prevalent in the second generation among men (Men: 34.6 vs. 45.7%, women: 39.6 vs. 40.8%).

    União interétnica de nipo-brasileiros associada a hábitos alimentares menos saudáveis e ao pior perfil de risco cardiometabólico

    OBJECTIVE: Interethnic marriage between nikkey Brazilians and non-nikkey Brazilians may favor the westernization of diet. Dietary consumption, clinical data and frequencies of metabolic diseases were compared in a Japanese-Brazilian population, with intraethnic or interethnic marriage. METHODS: T test, Mann-Whitney, chi-square and Person coefficient were used. RESULTS: Among 1009 Japanese-Brazilians there were 18.9% of interethnic marriage, being more frequent among nikkey men. These showed higher means of BMI, waist, blood pressure, glycemia and triglyceridemia than women. Overall frequencies of obesity, hypertrigliceridemia and metabolic syndrome were 47.7%, 68.1% and 45.2%, being higher in interethnic than intraethnic marriage. Comparing individuals with interethnic marriages, hypertriglyceridemia was more common among men while low-HDL among women. Energy, fat, groups of alcohol, sweets and oils were higher in interethnic marriage. Individuals with intraethnic marriage consumed more carbohydrate, proteins, fibers, vitamins, minerals, vegetables, fruits/juice, cereals and missoshiru. Comparing individuals with interethnic marriages, nikkey men showed a more westernized dietary pattern than nikkey women. CONCLUSION: Interethnic marriage was associated with less healthy food habits and worse cardiometabolic profile.
