Lifestyle behaviors and ethnic identity among diverse women at high risk for type 2 diabetes.
The authors examined if ethnic identity could help account for variations in lifestyle behaviors within a diverse population at high risk for type 2 diabetes. Their findings suggest that ethnic group attachment is associated with some lifestyle behaviors, independent of acculturation indicators, among young women with gestational diabetes who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes. They suggest that prospective research is needed to clarify the temporal nature of associations between ethnic identity and modifiable diabetes risk factors.
