Further insight into data interpretation and conclusions

摘要

I read with great interest the paper by Roche and Wang entitled“Factors associated with a diabetes diagnosis and late diabetes diag-nosis for males and females” in the Journal of Clinical and Transla-tional Endocrinology, 2014, Vol. 1(3):77–84. Authors identifiedsome of the factors related to diabetes and early/late diabetes diag-nosis from extremely complex process of clinical, demographic, so-cioeconomic, lifestyle and psychosocial factors. I amvery pleased tosee that authors conducted their study on Newfoundland popula-tion where diabetes prevalence is the highest in Canada; however,a limited number of studies have been conducted on this popula-tion. As it is my research interest, I perhaps might be able to add lit-tle more to this study.
