ABSTRACT Background: African Americans (AAs) have a higher prevalence of obesity and
type 2 diabetes than do whites. Higher insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia have been
reported in adult AAs than in whites. Differences in adipose tissue and its distribution may
account for these findings. Objective: The objective was to ascertain whether differences
between AA and white women in adipose tissue (AT) and skeletal muscle (SM) volumes
account for ethnic differences in insulin resistance. Design: We used whole-body magnetic …
