Type 2 & other diabetes

An environment-wide association study for the identification of non-invasive factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus: Analysis based on the Henan Rural Cohort study

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Environment-wide association study

Authors' conclusion

Our findings demonstrate that non-invasive variables that can be easily measured and quickly obtained may be used to predict T2DM risk in rural populations in Henan Province.
