South Asian Immigrants, South Asian Community

African Origin Dept: In the largest study of its kind in Canada, researchers at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences – a full decade earlier than in the general Ontario population. Recent immigrants, particularly those of South Asian and African origin, are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with long term residents of Ontario. Roughly 12 per cent of the entire South Asian community that immigrated to Ontario in the previous 20 years had diabetes, the study found. That translates into more than 28,000 diagnoses among South Asian immigrants as of 2005. As reported in the news.
