Obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders among the Bororo Indigenous population.
Article in Archives of endocrinology and metabolism, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveObesity and diabetes are widely recognized risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and their increase among Indigenous populations has been documented in the medical literature. Given the regional differences in the prevalence of metabolic disorders, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions in the Bororo population of the Central-West region of Brazil. SUBJECTS AND
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 152 Bororo individuals from the Meruri Reservation in Mato Grosso, Brazil, underwent clinical, anthropometric, and laboratory assessments.
resultsWomen presented a worse metabolic profile than men, demonstrating significantly higher body mass index, waist circumference, total cholesterol, LDL-c, and 2-hour glucose levels, whereas men exhibited higher systolic blood pressure. Obesity was observed in 30.2% of the participants, with a higher prevalence among women (40.0% vs. 21.9%, p = 0.02). Prediabetes affected 51.3% of the participants, showing a higher prevalence in older men than in younger men (70.6% vs. 43.7%, p = 0.02). Diabetes was diagnosed in 9.2% of the participants, exclusively among women (20.0%), and rose to 38.7% in women aged ≥40 years. Hypertension was present in 23.0% of the participants and was positively associated with age. Central obesity was highly prevalent in this study cohort (72.3%).
conclusionOur findings revealed an unfavorable metabolic profile among the Bororo Indigenous population, particularly in older women. This underscores the critical need for sexand age-specific preventive measures and management strategies for metabolic diseases in this population.
