Description

Dataset produced as a result of two cross-sectional surveys investigating metabolic outcomes in urban and rural locations in Uganda. Each row represents one participant. Variables include data on location of residence (urban versus rural), metabolic parameters (including HOMA-IR, blood pressure, blood glucose) and socio-demographic characteristics.
