Among US South Asian adults, a culturally adapted group lifestyle intervention led to small improvements in self-reported health behaviors but was not more effective than written health education materials for CVD risk factor reduction. ja.ma/4elZKEX

Check out @masala_study @MASALA2G @ourhealthstudy Spread the word to enroll 🙏🏾 Early CVD in #SouthAsians is complex/multifactorial. Can’t oversimplify with 1 reason or score or lab test But we need better execution of widespread screening & education on diet/lifestyle changes

Something every South Asian needs to come to grip with: We need to work substantially harder on our metabolic health and exercise than other ethnicities Different studies show we're anywhere from 4 to 6 times more likely to suffer heart disease and Type 2 diabetes

The number of Asians and Pacific Islanders with diabetes keeps going up

Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are at risk for developing diabetes at lower weights and younger ages than others. Doctors are working from the inside the community to make people healthier.
