Research project This project aims to develop personalised and culturally relevant approaches to preventing the disease by identifying factors linked to ethnicity and gender for early detection.
Type 2 diabetes is rapidly increasing in many parts of the world, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. This project aims to develop personalised and culturally relevant approaches to diabetes prevention by identifying risk factors based on ethnicity and gender. Through collaboration between Sweden, Germany and South Africa, advanced biochemical analyses and dietary data are combined to create effective solutions for both European and African populations.
Type 2 diabetes is on the rise in many parts of the world, with sub-Saharan Africa experiencing the fastest increase. This project, involving researchers in Sweden, Germany and South Africa, aims to develop tailored approaches to diabetes prevention by studying ethnic and gender differences. Using biochemical analyses, researchers are identifying biological markers and dietary habits linked to diabetes risk. The aim is to develop cost-effective and culturally appropriate solutions to prevent diabetes in Africa and Europe.
