Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects people globally. With the increasing odds of diabetes
and it becoming the 7th leading cause of death, it is important to see what lifestyle choices that
can be modified to live a healthier life. Objective: This project looks at the odds of developing
diabetes in terms of physical activity amongst the following ethnic groups in Kohala, Hawaii:
Caucasian, Filipino, Hawaiian or Part Hawaiian, and Japanese. Methods: This is a secondary
data analysis of a cross-sectional study from the Kohala Research Project in which data was
collected between 1997-2000. Men and non-pregnant women aged 18 years or older were
eligible to participate in the study where blood samples were acquired and an intensive
questionnaire was given. Results: It was found that physical activity is protective for
Caucasians, Filipinos, and Hawaiian/Part Hawaiians, but it had an increased odds of developing
diabetes for Japanese.
