At least one-fourth of the over 45 aged population of the Zuni Indian reservation have diabetes. The true prevalence may be higher since an unknown number of Zunis had no blood sugar measurements during 1975-76 and therefore no opportunity for diagnosis. The high prevalence of diabetes among the Zunis has not been previously documented. It is similar to that found in the well-studied Pima Indians and much higher than that in a carefully examined large white population.
祖尼印第安人保留地45岁以上的人口中,至少四分之一患有糖尿病。实际患病率可能更高,因为在1975年至1976年期间,数量不明的祖尼人未进行血糖检测,因此没有机会被诊断出来。祖尼人糖尿病的高患病率此前尚无记录。这一患病率与经过充分研究的皮马印第安人相似,远高于经过仔细调查的大量白人人口中的患病率。
