Rural-urban and ethnic comparisons of impaired glucose tolerance diabetes mellitus were made in the biracial population Fiji 1980. No statistically significant differences existed age-standardized prevalence between rural urban groups or Melanesians Indians. The Melanesian male was one-third that (1.1 vs. 3.5%). In females, there a sixfold rural-urban difference (1.2 7.1%). By contrast, Indians had similar rates (12.1 12.9% for males; 11.3 11.0% females). Standardization two-hour plasma age...
Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths, and although pancreatectomy currently only curative treatment, it associated with significant morbidity.The objective this study was to evaluate utility wearable telemonitoring technologies predict treatment outcomes using patient activity metrics machine learning.In prospective, single-center, single-cohort study, patients scheduled for were provided a device be worn prior surgery. Patient clinical data collected all...

A longitudinal study of 266 adult residents the Pacific island Nauru (1975–1976 and 1982) has shown an annual incidence noninsulin-dependent diabetes 1.6 per cent annum. Factors associated with subsequent development glucose intolerance were determined by means regression techniques. The two-hour, post-load plasma concentration was factor most consistently intolerance. Other predictors found to vary in their importance between sexes. In males, fasting triglyceride Mood pressure showed a...
A population-based survey of 2938 subjects has demonstrated a high prevalence non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM) in the Micronesian population Kiribati (formerly Gilbert Islands). This finding provides further support for evidence from Nauru, Guam, and Marshall Islands that Micronesians are particularly susceptible to NIDDM. The age-standardized was over twice as an urban, compared with rural, sample (9.1 versus 3.0 men, 8.7 3.3 women). To test priori hypotheses obesity, reduced physical...
Abstract Population‐based data on 1,842 subjects from six semitraditional Pacific communities, collected in the years 1978–1983, have been compared order to examine hypotheses that differences distribution of plasma glucose concentration between populations are some extent genetically determined, and non‐Austronesian (NAN) Melanesians relatively resistant intolerance. Semitraditional communities were chosen for study so comparison would be minimally confounded by either known or as yet...
An epidemiologic survey of the whole adult Micronesian population Nauru in Central Pacific conducted 1982 has confirmed that Nauruans, along with Pima Indians, suffer highest rate abnormal glucose tolerance yet recorded. To establish morbid effects hyperglycemia this population, all responders to diabetes were concurrently examined for diabetic retinopathy. In subjects, crude prevalence retinopathy was 24%. Specific rates determined at various levels following characteristics: age, two-hour...
Glucose tolerance and the prevalence of impaired glucose (IGT) diabetes in Polynesian populations Rarotonga Niue were studied 1980. Both Rarotongans Niueans have been considerably influenced by sociocultural modernization (in case Rarotonga) tourism. In both populations, abnormal exceeded 10% men 15% women. There was an association between age obesity sexes, but not physical activity. did differ after allowing for differences obesity. Comparisons normal subjects, those with diabetic subjects...
Post-operative complications and hospital readmission are of great concern to surgical patients health care providers. Wearable devices such as Fitbit wristbands enable long-term non-intrusive monitoring outside clinical environments. To build accurate predictive models based on wearable data, however, requires effective feature engineering extract high-level features from time series data collected by the sensors. This paper presents a pipeline for developing The core is multi-level...
Most epidemiological studies of diabetic retinopathy have been based on clinic populations. This produces a bias for the more severe cases and later stages disease. To avoid this bias, 1567 Micronesian adults Nauru (82% total adult population) were examined. Diabetic was classified by both World Health Organization (WHO) criteria Airlie House reference photographs. Results subject to multiple logistic regression model analysis. present in 7% general population 24% diabetics. Of signs,...
Higher levels of preoperative physical activity are associated with improved outcomes after pancreatectomy, but it remains unclear if modifiable. Patients undergoing pancreatectomy were randomized 1:1 to a telephone-based intervention at least one week before surgery or control. All patients wore wearable devices remotely collect and clinical data. In total, 152 enrolled 83 completed the study (41 42 control). The group walked 4568 (SD 2522) average daily steps pre-intervention, which...
Two urbanized Micronesian populations were recently studied by population-based diabetes surveys. These Nauruans living on the island of Nauru, and Gil-bertese resident islet Betio, in Republic Kiribati (1982 1981, respectively). are known to suffer from a very high prevalence non-insulin-dependent (type II) mellitus (NIDDM). In present study, effects suspected environmental risk factors for controlled for, an attempt elucidate any residual difference between two groups, which might be...
Accurate prediction of readmission and severe complication risks during the pre-operative stage is crucial for clinical decision-making. In addition to traditional static data, activity physiological data collected by commercial wearable devices such as Fitbit wristbands provide valuable complementary information. However, from wearables are often incomplete noisy, presenting challenges in extracting clinically meaningful features fine-grained time series data. this paper, we propose a...
