> Does your community suffer from metabolic syndrome at the same rate?
While it's the second largest linguistic community in India, I don't know if there's ever been a study done on the metabolic syndrome in that level of detail, no. But I wouldn't be surprised if nobody has bothered to study it. Dietary habits are also tricky to classify because the boundaries are fluid.
Certainly the original article posted does not go into any level of detail on ethnic groups within India, given that it contrasts (without any sense of irony) rates between South Asians and "Caucasians".
- moultano 11y agoWhat's interesting is that genetic groups and cultural groups are so correlated in India that I doubt a population study would be able to disentangle them. http://www.unz.com/gnxp/the-aryan-invasion-was-not-fantasy/ http://www.unz.com/gnxp/the-aryan-invasion-was-not-fantasy/
