文摘

This register based study covers the entire Danish population. Non-western migrants have a higher incidence of diabetes compared to native Danes. The standardised mortality ratio is higher among non-western migrants. Increased prevalence among non-western migrants is to some extent explained by increased incidence. Findings call for screening and prevention strategies targeted migrant populations.
