Background Uk Indian adults have higher risks of coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes (T2D) than both Indian and Uk white European adults. With growing evidence that these risks begin before adulthood, we examined whether differences in adiposity and cardiometabolic risk markers were apparent between Indian children who live in India compared to Indian and white European children who live in the UK.
