Prevalence rates of diabetes, asymptomatic hyperglycemia, and cardiovascular risk factors were examined in an employed population of 28,895 whites and 2607 blacks, ages 25 to 64 years. Diabetes had been previously diagnosed in this population among approximately 3% of the males of both races and 2% of the females. Plasma glucose 1 hour after a 50 gm oral load was highest among white males (141 mg/dl), similar and at intermediary levels among black males (134 mg/dl) and white females (135 mg/dl), and lowest among black females (126 mg/dl). A divergent pattern of obesity was observed, however, with black females being by far the most overweight. Preliminary mortality data for males suggest that both blacks and whites with diabetes have sizably higher death rates than those without diabetes; a black-white differential is not apparent.
对28895名年龄在25至64岁之间的白人雇员和2607名黑人雇员进行了糖尿病、无症状高血糖和心血管危险因素患病率的调查。此前在该人群中，两个种族约3%的男性和2%的女性已被诊断患有糖尿病。口服50克葡萄糖后1小时的血浆葡萄糖水平，白人男性最高（141毫克/分升），黑人男性（134毫克/分升）和白人女性（135毫克/分升）处于相似的中间水平，黑人女性最低（126毫克/分升）。然而，观察到一种不同的肥胖模式，黑人女性超重情况最为严重。男性的初步死亡率数据表明，患有糖尿病的黑人和白人的死亡率均显著高于未患糖尿病者；黑白差异不明显。
