These data are courtesy of Dr John Schorling, Department of Medicine, University of Virginia School of Medicine. The data originally described 1046 participants who were interviewed in a study to understand the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and other cardiovascular risk factors in central Virginia for African Americans. A total of 403 participants were screened for diabetes, which was defined as glycosolated hemoglobin > 7.0. Among those 403 participants, 366 provided complete data for the variables in these data.
