Higher burden of diabetes in rural population of our cohort might be due to higher prevalence of risk factors like obesity, tobacco smoking and poor diet, than in urban population [31,32]. On the other hand, as reported by IDF Diabetes Atlas, there are currently more people with diabetes in urban than rural areas globally [2].…”

In Poland, significantly more smokers are found among the residents of villages (Połtyn-Zaradna et al 2016). Recent studies confirm the antioxidant properties of low concentration of Cr by activating enzymes that reduce Ni toxicity (Terpilowska and Siwicki 2018).…”
