Cross ta lk between energy metabolism and bone through osteocalcin is implicated in the pathophysiology and etiology of DM2.  Epidemiological studies show th at osteocalcin associates with reduced insulin resistance and enhanced pan creatic secretion of insulin.  This thesis consists of 4 studies using dat a from Inuit adults (≥18 y) who participated in the cross-sectional 2007-2 008 International Polar Year Inuit Health Survey conducted in three arctic regions\, Nunavut\, Nunatsiavut and Inuvialuit Settlement Region.\n\nEver yone in the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense.
