Ethnic differences between Asians and non-Asians in clustering-based phenotype classification of adult-onset diabetes mellitus: A systematic narrative review

Several international studies have stratified people with diabetes into phenotypical clusters. However, there has not been a systematic examination of the variation in these clusters across ethnic groups. For example, some clusters appear more frequent among Asians and may have lower weight, age at diagnosis and poorer beta cell function.

Automated summary

Several international studies have categorized people with diabetes into different phenotypical clusters, but there has been no systematic examination of the variation in these clusters across ethnic groups. Some clusters appear to be more common among Asians and may be associated with lower weight, younger age at diagnosis, and poorer beta cell function.
