Abstract:
This study examines the prevalence and factors associated with diabetes among Black individuals in Canada, compared to other racial groups. A comprehensive search strategy was executed across ten databases: MEDLINE, APA PsycInfo, CBCA, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane CENTRAL, CPI. Q, Embase, Érudit, and Web of Science. A random effects meta-analysis and narrative review were performed. The meta-analysis included 11 studies comprising 83,942 Black individuals, finding a pooled diabetes prevalence of 6.3 %. No significant gender or racial-ethnic group differences were observed. However, when compared directly to other racial group, Black individuals were more likely to have diabetes compared to White (OR = 1.29) and Asian (OR = 1.16) participants. The prevalence was unaffected by moderators such as age, gender or publication year. A narrative review highlighted associations with gender, socioeconomic status, immigration status, and healthcare utilization. Findings highlight a higher diabetes prevalence among Black individuals compared to White and Asian populations and significant research gaps. Key areas for future study include examining the impact of social determinants like racial discrimination, immigration status, and socioeconomic factors on diabetes risk. Additionally, classifying data by ethnicity within Canadian populations and focusing on healthcare quality are essential to developing targeted prevention and intervention strategies for Black communities.

Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...
