摘要：

The Latino population consists of distinct cultural groups, with differences in dietary habits and lifestyle that can affect the risk for type 2 diabetes. The best terminology today is Latino/Hispanic, and it should only be used as ethnicity. Latin-America has different races such as Caucasians, Native Americans, Blacks and Asians, and many mixtures of all. The leading cause of death in Latin-America is Cardiovascular diseases and the most important risk factor is diabetes mellitus (DM). According to the latest estimates from the Global Bur den of Disease, the burden of DM was greater than expected in Latin America and the Caribbean region. Extensive data illustrates that lower cardiovascular disease risk in Latino group is a paradox. Instead, it is evident that the cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in Latinos.
