To focus on the rationale and methods of the Maycoba Project.
Study population included Mexican Pima Indians (MPI) and Blancos aged ≥20-years, living in the village of Maycoba and surrounding area. Surveys in 1995 and 2010 included a medical history, biochemical and anthropomet- ric measurements. Additionally, socio- economic, physical activity, and dietary interviews were conducted. The 2010 study incorporated investigations on type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity-associated genetic alleles and human-envi- ronment changes.
The study results are limited to demographic data and description of the eligible and ex- amined sample.
This study may yield important information on T2D and obesity etiology in a traditional population exposed to environmental changes.
关注马约科巴项目的基本原理和方法。
研究人群包括居住在马约科巴村及周边地区、年龄≥20岁的墨西哥皮马印第安人（MPI）和白人。1995年和2010年的调查包括病史、生化和人体测量。此外，还进行了社会经济、身体活动和饮食访谈。2010年的研究纳入了对2型糖尿病（T2D）和肥胖相关基因等位基因以及人类环境变化的调查。
研究结果仅限于人口统计学数据以及符合条件和接受检查样本的描述。
本研究可能会为处于环境变化中的传统人群的2型糖尿病和肥胖病因提供重要信息。
