The objectives of this paper are twofold: (1) to compare the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in adults – aged 35 to 74 years – of the Turkish and Moroccan communities in Belgium with the prevalence in native Belgians; and (2) to examine the determinants and specific mechanisms responsible for differences in diabetes between these communities. Both aims were examined by means of the Health Interview Surveys of 1997, 2001 and 2004. Stepwise logistic regression analyses were performed with diabetes as outcome variable; lifestyle and socio-economic factors as independent variables. In 35- to 74-year olds, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is higher in Belgians of Turkish and Moroccan origin than in native Belgians. The differences are larger in women than in men. In men, the differences are strongly reduced after controlling for physical activity and educational attainment. In women, ethnic differences become smaller after accounting for body mass index and educational level.
