- Pima Indians: Pathfinders for Health
|
Pima |
US - Southwest |
- This cooperative search between the Pima Indians and the NIH began in 1963 when the NIDDK (then called the National
Institute of Arthritis, Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases), made a survey of rheumatoid arthritis among the Pimas
and the Blackfeet of Montana. They discovered an extremely high rate of diabetes among the Pima Indians. Two years
later, the Institute, the Indian Health Service, and the Pima community set out to find some answers to this mystery. They
hoped to shed light on an even broader question: Why do Native Americans, Hispanics and other non-white peoples have
up to ten times the rate of diabetes as Caucasians?
