Heterogeneity in sex differences in the metabolic syndrome in Dutch white, Surinamese African and South Asian populations
Diabetic Medicine, 08/21/2012

The relatively high prevalence of central obesity in African–Surinamese women may underlie their higher prevalence of the metabolic syndrome. Strategies to improve metabolic profiles among African–Surinamese and white Dutch people need to take sex differences into account.
