The prevalence of glucose intolerance and hypertension was compared between a group of 87 young Ethiopian males (age 21.6 +/- 2.8 years) from the post Moses immigration of 1989 (group 1) and 89 age-matched Ethiopian males (age 21.4 +/- 3.1) from the Solomon immigration of 1991 (group 2). Both groups demonstrated a relatively high, for age, prevalence of glucose intolerance: 5% and 8% in groups 1 and 2 respectively (not significant). However, group 1 had a higher glucose level 2 h after an oral glucose tolerance test (P < 0.05) and a higher level of HbA1C (P < 0.05) and fructosamine (P = 0.07), concomitant with a lower fasting insulin (P < 0.005), when compared with group 2. Group 2 had a significant increase in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure when compared with group 1 (P < 0.05, P < 0.005 respectively). Group 2 had higher blood pressure levels and higher fasting insulin than group 1, suggesting a relationship between insulin levels and blood pressure in this population.
对1989年摩西移民潮后的87名年轻埃塞俄比亚男性（年龄21.6±2.8岁）（第1组）和1991年所罗门移民潮中的89名年龄匹配的埃塞俄比亚男性（年龄21.4±3.1岁）（第2组）的葡萄糖不耐受和高血压患病率进行了比较。两组在同龄人中葡萄糖不耐受的患病率相对较高：第1组和第2组分别为5%和8%（无显著差异）。然而，与第2组相比，第1组在口服葡萄糖耐量试验后2小时血糖水平更高（P<0.05），糖化血红蛋白（HbA1C）水平更高（P<0.05），果糖胺水平更高（P=0.07），同时空腹胰岛素水平更低（P<0.005）。与第1组相比，第2组的收缩压和舒张压均显著升高（分别为P<0.05，P<0.005）。第2组的血压水平和空腹胰岛素水平高于第1组，表明该人群中胰岛素水平与血压之间存在关联。
