摘要：

Epidemiologic data demonstrate a positive association between obesity and certain measures related to the metabolic syndrome that differ among individuals of different ethnic/racial backgrounds. The effect of genetic and environmental factors on these differences is not completely understood, however, insightful information can be obtained by taking into account the degree of ancestral admixture in populations.
