Abstract
Latinos in the United States are twice as likely to develop type 2 diabetes as non-Hispanic whites. This study examines possible factors contributing to the prevalence of diabetes in the Latino population: acculturation, lack of access to healthcare, language and cultural barriers, a genetic propensity towards obesity, and organochlorine pesticides.
