SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Data on Mexican-American children indicates many are on the fast track for diabetes and other health problems, U.S. researchers say.
Ravindranath Duggirala, a scientist at Texas Biomedical Research Institute in San Antonio, and colleagues examined 670 children ages 6-17, from predominantly lower-income extended Mexican-American families, many of whose adult members have increased risk of diabetes.
